Can You Stay Healthy on Your Next Cruise?
To me, there's nothing worse than being ill while on vacation. I've battled colds, stomach bugs, sinus infections and coughs while traveling, and it's just not fun to be sick on the road. To me, the worst possible experience is to be sick far from home, particularly while on a cruise.
When illness breaks out on a cruise ship, news reporters broadcast the event far and wide, partially because sickness on passenger vessels must be reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Discussions of norovirus ("Norwalk virus") outbreaks are not pretty under the best of circumstances.
There's no reason to worry, though, if you plan ahead and take some steps to stay well while on your cruise. You really can minimize the risk of getting sick on the high seas. Find out more about staying healthy on your cruise vacation.

This topic is becoming quiet important in the light of swine flu. Just last month Venezuela quarantined a cruise ship as some of the passengers had swine flu.
