Virus-hit cruise passengers threaten sit-in when Oriana arrives home in Southampton
7:29pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News By Ed Stilliard, Senior Reporter
The P&O Cruises ship Oriana
FURIOUS passengers on board a Southampton-based cruise liner are threatening a sit-in when it arrives in port on Friday after an outbreak of norovirus that has affected hundreds.
Holidaymakers claim the virus was already on the P&O boat Oriana when they boarded.
Meetings have already taken place with the ship’s captain after passengers told the Daily Echo at least 400 people fell ill with the sickness and diarrhoea bug.
The liner is currently travelling across the North Sea after it pulled into Hamburg yesterday.
Marian Davies, from Southampton, said: “It has more or less taken over the whole ship. Some people are refusing to get off the ship on Friday in protest.
“It is like a prison camp. Lots of people are cordoned off because of the norovirus. The bug was on here when we got on. We should have been told.”
Another passenger, Vanessa Herrington, 30, also from Southampton, said that people had been ill in the corridors while vast areas of the ship had been cordoned off to restrict the spread of the virus.
Vanessa fell ill on the second day of the cruise but feels that the service to maintain the illness was not up to scratch.
“People want some kind of compensation. I have cruised many times we just don’t want to get back on board at times.
“When we pulled into Amsterdam on the second night so many people were confined to their cabins. Ill people with an inside cabin could not even get out to get some fresh air.”
P&O’s parent company, Carnival, said anyone who feels strongly about what has happened on board should write to the Southampton firm.
A spokesman added that the ship would be spending longer in port for cleaning on Friday.
He added: “As is currently standard procedure across our fleet, all the ship’s passengers were provided with a precautionary health notice advising of widespread norovirus activity and the health measures to avoid contraction and spread, both on board and whilst ashore.
“The captain is regularly updating the passengers and crew on the situation and advising passengers with gastrointestinal symptoms to report to the medical centre.
“Unwell passengers are asked to comply with the doctor’s instructions and isolate themselves in their cabin until non-contagious.".

Cant really go anywhere. And then when something like this happens you cant get off.
I know it brings loads o business to Southampton. But I would never go on a cruise.
Conditions must be smelly to say the least.
And what of the hygiene inspections. If a passenger brings it on-board they should have imideate action plans to stop it spreading.

Obviously the ship is full of dirty people who don't wash their hands, passengers or crew or both?
Most people who cruise are rich want to be's, people who are poor and save up to brag to friends they're going on a cruise thinking it's the bees knees.
It's no wonder these boats are full of germs.

The virus, which is highly contagious, causes vomiting and diarrhoea. As there is no specific cure, you have to let it run its course, but it should not last more than a couple of days. If you get norovirus, make sure you drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and practise good hygiene to help prevent it from spreading.

IronLady2010, you are very generalistic in your views for someone who hasn`t been cruising. I have been on a few, on both P & O and Cunard, some were good, others not quite so good, but on all ships there were people of all ages from all walks of life enjoying themselves.

iron lady you are one of the most stupid ignorant idiots to post on here i have ever seen. I have just come back from a 10 day cruise on Oceana. I saved up my pocket money like a good working class boy i am and had a great time. I washed my hands about 20 times or more a day. You couldn't get in the food areas without using the gel the ship couldn't have done more to keep it at bay. Everywhere was spotless.
