The cruise lines have been checking passengers for medical reasons for years, looking for symptoms that might indicate norovirus. This is not news.

And if I thought I just had food poisoning or something, I would too. But wonder how many people it will catch with something that isn't swine flu. We met a guy on a Mexico cruise two years ago at one of the last ports, he was not feeling well the first night, thought it was something he ate. Nurse said it could be norovirus and quarantined him in cabin for five days. He said he had left his cabin once for a soda and the waiter took his card, ran it, and told him to get back in the room. He said he was pretty sure after the fact it was food related from something he ate before he got on board, also said he was NEVER going to a ship's doctor for anything none life-threatening again.

I'd lie like a rug. I mean seriously.. even if I had trip insurance.. to be denied boarding at the cruise ship would mean the loss of services already taken (say flights, hotels, vacation time from work, etc.) Plus.. do travel policies cover denied boarding? Who is going to be honest on those questionnaires? Sounds like a legal departments CYA to me. I’m sorry.. but in todays environment… I’d lie like a rug.
