Cruise passengers can take simple preventative measures to help decrease the risk of becoming infected with Norovirus:
Frequently wash hands with soap and warm water; it's one of the best preventative measures one can take.
Take advantage of the hand-sanitizer stations located throughout the ship, particularly those located at the entrances of dining areas.
Drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. Resting helps rebuild your immune system. Drinking water helps prevents dehydration.
Be considerate of other people's health. We urge our clients who may feel ill before their cruise to contact us to learn what their alternative cruising options may be.
Anyone seeking additional information on Norovirus and proper hand-washing techniques can visit the CDC Web site at www.cdc.gov or the Vessel Sanitation Program's Web site at www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp.
