Sounds like the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship in Feb. 2000 when Covid broke out.
The course was more bad hygeine than anything else.
Probably the same here, start with the crew and their toilet habits.

Per the above...

“...This is the first AIDA Cruises outbreak in 2025, but the 16th norovirus outbreak overall...”

“Luxury cruise”, as opposed to “basic utility cruise”?

Best period for cruises was from Sept 2021 to end of 2022 when my wife and I did half a dozen cruises all reduced to 50% off regular fare and EXTRA Hygiene practices on ship. Such as even in buffet no one could touch the food. It was served by a plastic gloved worker behind the counter. No moro-virus or covid breakouts. Masks were required in all public areas.

My wife and I just had this last week. And we are on tierra firma. Not fun.

Four cruises, no illness for me.

I told my wife I’d never go on a cruise ship. You want to go fine but I’ll fly to wherever it is headed and meet you there.
