Boudicca Cruise ship sickness update

After many complaints were made to Fred Olen Cruise Liners, following outbreaks of Norovirus and sickness on board the Boudicca cruise ship, scores of passengers have still not been compensated by the company.

Passengers who were struck down by Norovirus and suffered gastroenteritis on board the Boudicca cruise ship during a cruise to Madeira on 22nd December, 2009 and a mini-cruise to Amsterdam on 18th December, 2009 have still not received satisfactory replies from Fred Olsen Cruise Liners, and some passengers have had no response at all.

Offers of £100.00 were also made to passengers who were struck down with sickness on board the Boudicca, and Fred Olsen claimed that Norovirus was bought on to the ship by passengers.
The Boudicca cruise which left Portsmouth on December 6th, 2009 saw 180 passengers taken ill after the Norovirus outbreak, and the ship had to return to Portsmouth a day early on the 18th December. The ship was then reportedly deep-cleaned and it left the port for a mini-cruise to Amsterdam later on the same day. Norovirus broke out once again and 50 passengers were ill.The Boudicca was apparently deep cleaned again after the mini-cruise to Amsterdam, and it set sail again for Madeira on the 22nd December, 2009. This cruise saw the worse outbreak of Norovirus on board the Boudicca, when 289 out of 795 passengers were diagnosed with the virus.
The Boudicca saw outbreaks of Norovirus 7 times during 2009, and another outbreak of food poisoning took place in October, 2009. Passengers on the Christmas cruise on the Boudicca claim there was not enough time for the ship to be deep-cleaned between cruises, and that Fred Olsen Cruise Liners is responsible for the outbreaks of sickness on board.
