Hundreds of cruisers are claiming they got sick while on a cruise around the Mediterranean. The victims were sailing onboard the Thomson Dream in May and June when many of the cruisers came down with a stomach illness.
According to reports, over 400 passengers have complained of suffering a stomach illness as a result of being onboard the cruise ship, Thomson Dream. Symptoms have included sickness, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue and abdominal cramps.
Barry Kay, 55, of Ravenshead, who was cruising with his wife, Julie, was one of the victims. Kay claims that he still hasn’t recovered from his illness.
Lawyers, who are representing some of the victims, have called for the cruise ship to be taken out of use until Thomson Cruises can guarantee that the problem has been resolved.
Thomson Cruises has issued a statement saying that the wellbeing of its customers was the company’s top priority. “We enforce robust health and safety procedures and take claims of illness extremely seriously,” a spokesperson for Thomson Cruises said.
The spokesperson also confirmed that the cruise ship company received 41 complaints by passengers who were onboard the cruise ship during the months in question. However, not all of those complaints were illness related.
