Cheryl B-
I am so glad that you posted your report. I too was a transplanted Magic traveler to a Wonder traveler and I was very disappointed in the way that Disney handled the sickness on board. First let me say that we were totally unaware of anyone being sick and I asked prior to agreeing to take the Wonder and also at the Supervisor desk when I checked in. I was told that there was absolutley no sickness on the Wonder, not so as told by some Room Serivce crew members....
Anyway, we were seated with another couple and their son who was 4 and my son will be 4 soon. Wow this was great. They made friends and on Monday evening, spent the entire night together at the Oceaners Club. Next day, Tuesday, we were at dinner waiting for our tablemates to arrive and they never did. A while later the husband came and he was all dressed up and explained that they were heading to dinner and their son started vomiting. He came anyway to order off the menu and to bring me a birthday present ( how nice of them) He explained that their son had alot of Ice Cream at Scoops and then fell asleep so they were attributing the illness to that. I was a little leary but hopeful anyway.
By late afternoon the next day, my son had severe stomach cramping and diarrhea. This lasted for some time and then he seemed better so we went to dinner. Again waited for our tablemates who did not show. Finally the wife came to explain that they were all sick and she was trying to report it and she was told that noone else on board was sick. She was on Deck 7 and told me that she and her husband could actually hear others in their cabins vomitting. How could they lie like this? She then called back because she saw people in Hazmat suits and they still insisted that noone was sick.
Next day, Thursday, check out. as I was leaving my cabin, I turned around to get the stroller and behind me was someone in a Hazmat suit (no sickness huh). We arrived at Dolphin resort around 10:30 am and was waiting in line to check in and there were alot of DCL reps there, all of a sudden the room started to spin. I called the DCL manager over and told her that I needed to check into a room right away because I was going to be terribly sick. She right away pulled me out of line and had someone check us in. I explained my son's sickness to her and told her she better send someone to room 5638 to have them do a thorough scrubbing. She said she would. Socl all day Thursday, fun, fun in Disney.
Friday, everyone seemed fine.
Saturday, checkout day. Upon arrival at aiport, 3 year old son started to scream about his stomach again. We actually had to hold up the flight because he was using the toilet and they were trying to back away from the gate. The rude stewardess knocked on the door and told my husband they had to get out since they were holding up the flight. This was the flight from hell, every 5-10 minutes, my son was running to the bathroom.
Monday morning, I have uncontrolled vomitting and diarrhea. I was so sick that I had to have a bed pan since I couldn't even move because I was so weak.
It seems that we were transferring this back and forth.
Before I get any flames I just would like everyone to know that I spent $11.74 on 2 bottles of Purell and 1 box of 8 tiny pocket size bottles of Purell. Besides using this and washing hands like maniacs, we still became ill.
I do not blame Disney for the illness but I do blame them for keeping it secret yet again. Also, the irony of the whole thing is that they cancelled my well planned out Magic trip because of a sickness that I got on their supposed non infected Wonder.
