Norovirus soon to be a thing of the past!

The Seattle Times recently carried a story regarding how close scientists are to developing a vaccine for the norovirus.
I tend to take stories like this with a pinch of salt as the norovirus evolves so rapidly, (as of right now there are over thirty known varieties), it always seems a little unrealistic to me. Still if the vaccine does work this could be great news for cruisers.

How to avoid the Norovirus on a cruise ship

This is one of those subjects that tends to gain and lose prominence in the media and the public consciousness depending on what else is going on. However for some reason I’ve had a lot of passengers calling me lately worried about it on their cruise ship. They have been, quite rightly, worried about catching this and not being able to enjoy the cruise. The funny thing is with just a few simple precautions there really isn’t any reason for this to spoil your cruise holiday.
