Norovirus is a group of viruses that cause stomach flu symptoms such as diarrhea,
vomiting and stomach cramps, according to the CDC. The illness usually lasts one to two days without any long-term health effects. It spreads through contaminated food or liquids, by touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then placing that hand in one's mouth,
or through direct contact with someone who is infected and showing symptoms.

Why does it seem like it is always Carnival that has outbreaks of nurovirus, passengers falling overboard and fires on board? They seem to have more negative publicity than any other cruise line. Kind of makes you wonder

My Cousin was on one of those Carnival crusies where everyone got sick a few years back. He said that it did affect him as well but he did not get it as bad as others did.

Makes you thing twice about taking a cruise - get sick on Carnival or fall overboard on Royal Caribbean.
