Norwalk gastroenteritis is transmitted by the fecal-oral route via contaminated water and foods.

Foods must be kept at less than 41 degrees or more than 141 degrees. Employees must wash thier hands and observe all sanitation procedures. Ready to eat foods must be handled with gloves. Sheesh, it's not rocket science.

Was there a large enough parking lot at the docks for the fleets of attorneys?

The wife and I were aboard the last CARIBBEAN CRUISE for the MS WESTERDAM with Holland America. Without a doubt the best vacation we ever had. Everything TOP NOTCH. It only takes one guy to not wash after wee-wee. This could happen on any cruise line or restaurant. However,Ill bet if we book our next trip with Holland America this week they would give us half off and double upgrade.

I refuse to eat in restaurants that have dirty restrooms. The Chili's down the street from where I live has one of the most disgusting bathrooms I have ever seen. I remember taking my son into it when he was potty training, and after seeing it's state, I made my husband get up and leave.

My favorite is when employees wear gloves, and then do things like handle money without removing the gloves, only to use those same gloves on whatever foodstuffs they were working on before. Yuck!!!
