Ill after 2nd day / malade dès le 2ème jour
Hello, I rarely leave reviews, but I felt I had to share mine today. As I’m still on the ship for this last day after nearly a week, I fell ill on board as early as the second day—severe coughing, intense headaches, a blocked nose, fever, and loss of appetite. Yet, I’m someone with good hygiene, especially in places crowded with strangers; I wash my hands before eating, etc.
I went to the medical center, and at reception, I was told that the doctor's consultation fee was €100, not including additional costs for procedures and necessary medical supplies. I turned around and went to the pharmacy instead, where I bought throat syrup and strong ibuprofen. These helped reduce my fever temporarily, but it kept coming back, and the cough never went away.
I'm 27 years old, I rarely get sick, and I’ve always been active in sports, but this experience was extremely difficult, with sleepless nights due to the symptoms mentioned above. I’m sure that for most people, this experience is enjoyable, but for me, it unfortunately turned into a real nightmare…
Thank you for reading.
