A woman has been awarded compensation after contracting salmonella poisoning during a cruise.
She began to feel ill within two days after the cruise began, suffering from symptoms including vomiting and abdominal cramps. She was diagnosed with salmonella poisoning and given emergency treatment on the ship. After returning to England she spent three days in hospital, where she was given fluids and antibiotics intravenously.
She continued to experience symptoms including abdominal cramps and tiredness for six weeks, and had to take three weeks off work. It took her more than two years to make a full recovery.
She brought a claim against the provider of the cruise holiday, which denied liability for her illness. Her case went to court and she was awarded compensation of £3,750.
