It seems like a lot of cruise ships are having problems; i.e. tipping over, virus infections etc. etc. If the assertion that the industry is having problems is correct one wonders why.
Just got back from a wonderful 7 day cruise on Royal Caribbean. There were Purell stations EVERYWHERE, and you weren’t even allowed in a dining area without using one. The captain announced that staff and crew were no longer shaking hands with passengers and there was a video running on TV showing the proper way to sanitize your hands with Purell.
My main thought was that I wished I were the Purell salesman!
We didn’t get sick and had an incredible experience.
