Norovirus wreaks havoc on the Queen Mary 2

British holidaymakers have contacted YourHolidayClaims seeking compensation after a suspected norovirus outbreak ruined their stay on the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship.

Holidaymakers have reported suffering from symptoms of diarrhoea and vomiting which left them unable to leave their cabin for a number of days due to the severity of the illness.

Writing on Cruise Critic, one guest painted an alarming picture of the spread of the illness. She commented:

âWe learnt within the first 24 hours that the ship had cases of norovirus.

âBy the 22^nd of April there were 70 cases of norovirus and the port authorities in Salalah Oman would not let us dock.

âBy the 26^th of April the number of cases had risen to 200, according to some staff.â

Another guest raised serious concerns that Cunard simply âfailed to control the norovirus.â âIf one person in a double occupied cabin was showing symptoms, they were confined but the other person was allowed to roam the ship at will, infecting anyone and everyone!â they wrote.

Comments fromÂ a cruise ship illness claim specialist

Tracy Stansfield, cruise ship illness specialist at YourHolidayClaims commented: âIt is distressing to hear reports of British holidaymakers stricken by illness on the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship.

âNorovirus is a very unpleasant illness. The symptoms of norovirus include diarrhoea, vomiting and nausea. These symptoms can completely ruin a cruise ship holiday as guests remain confined to their cabins to recover.

âI would urge anyone who has fallen ill on the Queen Mary 2 to contact YourHolidayClaims today and make a no win, no fee claim for compensation.

Tracy Stansfield,
