[Generic Other]

I think the company should incorporate a new advertising strategy. Here’s what we should see in the slick brochure: “Extend your vacation! Use up some of your sick leave! Visit our full-service infirmary! You’ll be on the GO from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.”

Have any of these cruise ships managed to get a clean bill of health? Hionestly, I think slave ships were less unsanitary! Good grief! How many times has this happened in the last two years? Do any of the cruises return without disembarking a bunch of puking passengers?

Outbreak of Illness on Alaska Cruise
SEATTLE – An outbreak of stomach illness has been reported among passengers and crew on the Star Princess cruise ship sailing between Seattle and Alaska.
A total of 107 passengers and 14 crew members suffered vomiting and diarrhea from the common Norovirus during the current seven-day cruise, said Tom Dow, a spokesman for Princess Cruises in Seattle.
