Jeez, as if Norwalk wasn't enough. Now it's bring your own Immodium and some bug spray.

Euw.

Alan and Nathalie Wasserstorm said their vacation aboard the Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas was ruined by the infestation of bed bugs.

I am thinking that is a fairly new ship.

Royal Caribbean apologized to the couple and refunded $2,800 for the tickets. The company declined to reimburse them for medical care or hotel expenses incurred while waiting to get home.

Sounds like an open and shut lawsuit to me. What the heck is Royal Caribbean thinking?

"...after being bitten by hundreds of bed bugs during a vacation cruise on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship...."

Yes, but they were ROYAL bed bugs.

This ought to be as good for Royal Caribbean as the finger in the chili was for Wendy's.

"Royal Caribbean apologized to the couple and refunded $2,800 for the tickets. The company declined to reimburse them for medical care or hotel expenses incurred while waiting to get home."

After all, why should they pay for the meds and emergency trip home? When you cruise with a reputable company you take the risk of being eaten alive by vermin and flying home sick rather than having the cruise you dreamed of. makes perfect sense.

The Wasserstorms say this is the last cruise they will ever take.

Between the stories of intestinal distress and massive bed bug attacks, I have already taken all the cruises I will never take. Sounds like cruise ships are floating incubators for parasites.

Between bed bugs and the horrible flus that people keep getting, these cruise ships are sounding less like floating four-star hotels and more like flop houses adrift.

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.

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

Reason #2 why I don't go on *cruises*, of any kind.
(Just ask me what Reason #1 is...)

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?
