DW and I are currently on honeymoon. We chose to book a few days at a hotel at which the restaurant is highly regarded for its fish and seafood cooking. We both work hard and it’s rare for us to have time alone together to relax properly so we were really looking forward to our honeymoon.
Last night DW had oysters at dinner, in the hotel restaurant. She was then violently ill all night and we have been unable to leave the hotel room today as she’s still so ill. I reported the matter to the general manager this morning and spoke to her about it. She was sympathetic but offered no reparation for what has happened, saying simply that “everyone knows that eating fresh oysters is a risk. 40% of all oysters carry norovirus no matter where they come from and ours were fresh.” I did not know that oysters carry norovirus and the menu carried no warning that you have a 40% chance of consuming norovirus if you eat them. GM suggested that if we wanted to leave early, the hotel would not charge us for the unused nights, though recognised not practical to travel in DW’s current state.
DW and have lost a day (hopefully it will be only a day and not more) of our short honeymoon, which we can never get back. The hotel is expensive. AIBU to expect some sort of goodwill gesture for this?
