Sounds like an open and shut lawsuit to me

Perhaps they brought their own supply of bugs?  Ala finger in the chili...

Reminds me of the time in ’61 when I crossed the Pacific on the troop ship USS General Breckinridge. Infested from stem to stern with crabs, it was. Needless to say, a most miserable crossing.

Could they have come in with previous guests?

Definitely. It's highly probably that a guest brought them in. If they haven't migrated to other parts of the ship, it was probably pretty recent.

Where did the bedbugs come from? Why was only one room affected? Don't they spray these rooms between sailings?

The Bug Boat. It needs to be captained by the Orkin Man.

A family in our church has just returned from a Disney Cruise out of Galveston, TX. Their young daughter was quarantined with a virus on the ship for several days and the dad is sick now. Sounded like Norwalk to me.

Nathalie Wasserstorm was treated with Benadryl and steroids ... Alan Wasserstorm was treated with nitro pills

Something ain't right about this story. Any doctors out there who can shed some light on this?

Did they also find a half of a human finger in the bed also?

Royal Carribean bug bites... or Carnival Craps. How to decide.

Easy...never venture on board a veritable floating third world nation.

Years ago in the 30's bedbugs at rented Cabins while traveling were a pretty common thing, lately I hadnt heard of any infestations of these mechanised dandruff...

Read an article w/in the last year or so that bedbugs are becoming more & more of a problem. I truthfully didn't know they were 'real' until I read that article...just thought it was a silly little saying along the lines of the Boogey Man.

More Bedbug Info

Nah.

For an infestation of bugs like that, clearly they needed to unleash spiders. Hundreds and hundreds of spiders on the bed, to eat the bed bugs, of course. Then, once the bedbugs were gone, the spiders would just crawl under the bed, since there'd be nothing left to eat. And a couple hundred spiders under the bed wouldn't bother anyone, now, would it?

Yes bedbugs are usually brought in by a former occupant who has them at home. Mostly from bad sanitary habits on the part of the carrier.

Bedbugs infest dirty houses, particularly mattresses, and feed off human blood. Their bite typically causes a large, reddened and itchy wheal.

Bloodsucking bedbugs are sneaking back between the sheets some 50 years after being all but wiped out in the developed world, a new study says.

First clue was when the crew told them to "sleep tight..."
