Don’t eat the fish.

Carnival Cruise lines breathes a temporary sigh of relief.

[VRWC For Truth]

Don’t eat the bad mushrooms.

Who says you always have to gain weight on a cruise?

[beethovenfan]

Anybody up for a ptomaine cruise?

[sickoflibs]

Maybe they will meet that rat ship.

Wonder how many diversity mandated members of the religion of peace are on the kitchen staff??

It’s just your basic 24-hour stomach flu. It’s been going around (went through all 4 members of my household, one after the other). Highly contagious, and very unpleasant, but thankfully short-lived. After seeing how quickly and thoroughly it hit everyone in my house, it is not hard to see how it could go through an entire cruise ship in a matter of days.

[Secret Agent Man]

cruise ships are not the place you want to get sick. especially seriously ill.

[Zakeet]

The boat wocked and wocked ... and the poor puddy tat got thick and twew up!

[Steve_Seattle]

Why do so many cruise ships have these major outbreaks of illness? It seems that we hear about this problem about ten times a year.

[Vendome]

And that is why I only drink bottled water or alcohol on a ship.

[Spartan302]

I swear some tourist flock to these cruise ships knowing already they have some form of a virus, and they deliberately try to get any part of their bodily fluids on items or in foods as much as possible, just like a firebug arsonist they then enjoy seeing the misery of others.
I bet there is even an underground forum somewhere that has threads on which cruise line to target, how to become a passive carrier, how to conveniently perform acts like double dipping spreads and dips, sneezing in the open and what kind of a passenger to target as the next carrier, they do it for entertainment.

[DoodleDawg]

So less that 10 percent of the passengers were affected.

My boyfriend and I took a Royal Caribbean cruise in October. The crew worked hard to keep things clean and there were hand sanitizer dispensers all over the place. Take the proper precautions and you don't get sick.

[bgill]

Another day, another ship of germs.

We just got off the Country Cruising cruise last Sunday on Norwegian Cruise Lines. My wife and I have been fighting a cold ever since. The only casualty during the cruise was Trace Adkins falling off the wagon and being flown to rehab. There was a lot of that going round.

[Gritty]

This is precisely the reason we refuse to go on a cruise ship.
