It's a highly contagious virus, they're protecting the other passengers. Do you want to make your friends sick? Call the Dr. & get rechecked, maybe its not Norwalk & then you can go out. No matter how much it sucks you can't sue b/c they're not doing anything wrong. These are government regulations.

Well, you made one huge mistake. You went to the ship's doctor about being sick with diahrrea. The standard protocol for cruiselines is to quarantine the sick person for 48-72 hours and the other people in the cabin for 24 hours.

This happened to you on the 5th day of the cruise. Yep, you will be in the cabin for the rest of the cruise. You will get some kind of credit on another cruise that will have to be used within one year. You will not get a partial refund but only the credit. You mom will also get some credit toward a cruise.

This is written in their health codes so you cannot sue.

Have they told you if you were going to get aleast some of your money back? You should.

My husband and I went on the Norwegian Spirit Cruise From Hell in April of this year and the same thing happened. My husband got food poisoning (believe me, it wasn't Norwalk - the food was god awful and throughout the cruise, dozens of people were sick after eating the wretched food). We were told that if a person has diahrrea, that person along with anyone who is rooming with them gets quarantined for 24 hours. We were docked in Tortola and my husband and I were stuck in that god forsaken room for 24 hours. It sucked. There are a number of reasons I'll never cruise again (all thanks to NCL) but that topped it. It was their fault my husband ended up sick in the first place. Oh well. Can't do anything about it. Good luck to you. Forget trying to get any money back. They already have your money. They don't care.

See if you can talk to the doctor again.

i dont think it would be right to sue. While yes it was unfair, but it would also be selfish and unfair to others if you got them sick.

While again yes, it does suck, it isnt uncommon.

This seems to be standard treatment for the symptoms you have mentioned. The virus is VERY contagious and can spread very fast in a confined space. I would follow the instructions of the doctor. When you get home, you and your mom should write a letter of complaint to the cruise lines. I know that some lines will give you a refund for the days you were confined if it was ordered by the doctor and you followed their instructions.
