It seems to me that a big part of the problem that Disney is facing right now is determining whether someone with any GI problem actually has Norwalk (and although we are not sure about the actual facts, based on the latest news article that was posted it DOES seem like there are people who feel wrongly quarantined. I'm not commenting on whether they are or not, but as long as people are feeling wrongly accused, Disney has a problem.) Last year on our crusie my husband got unexpectedly seasick the first night due to rough seas, but a nap and a bonine helped him really quickly (but not before losing his dinner, in the cabin, in the toilet, not in any public area and nothing anyone would have to clean up). I'm starting to get nervous about our upcoming cruise that should something like this happen again, we will both be stuck in our cabin for half the cruise for no reason.
Does anyone (doctor, nurse etc.) know why Disney cannot set up the facilities on board to be able to test for Norwalk so at least they have something other than symptoms that are very normal on a cruise (ie nausea caused by seasickness) to base their decisions on? Would the lab facilities be too large to fit on the ship, or could they set something up temporarily just to make that determination? It seems like if Disney could do that, it would make a lot of people happy by guaranteeing that you are only quarantined if you NEED to be, not if you might possibly need to be.
