Recent news of a Cruise Ship out break of a virus is filling the news channel of ship infections, passenger deaths, quarantine of passengers, denied port entry and further passenger illness. The most recent outbreak was on a Cruise Ship we know nothing about. There is no guarantee that the same thing could not happen on any cruise ship, but there are things we advise our customers do. We advise our clients consider when booking a cruise; select a well known cruise company and target the newer Cruise Ships and always, always get travel insurance we offer. The newer the cruise ship, the less problems with infections. The better and bigger the the cruise line the better the health standards. One evening we were invited to the Captains table for dinner on a cruise we were on of a well known cruise line. The Captain told us of how just prior to our cruise they dis-infected the entire ship after their health officer noted that one family who were passengers were very dirty and unhealthy. All rooms, public areas, hallways, kitchens, general public areas, and crew areas were completely dis-infected and cleaned before passengers and personal luggage were loaded before the next cruise. All for one family that had poor hygiene, was noted by the Health Officer and reacted by disinfecting the ship. This is why we participate in ship inspections, participated in seminars, conferences, and why our team go on cruises to check on the quality and safety.
