It was noro. Why antibiotics were prescribed is beyond me, though it may have been done for certain patients with other issues or, God forbid, to shut them up.

Because it's safer for the reputation of the cruise line to issue the antibiotic and blame it on Noro and ease the mind of the sick passenger knowing they are going to be OK in the next several days anyway rather than admit to bacterial contamination that they know the antibiotic is going to knock out. And if it is bacterial contamination, that passenger is going to be ill for the rest of the cruise if not treated.
