Swine Flu can hit cruise ships
pThe summer has been taking on swine flu which is the only reason the figures have been down. The reason that flu is more dominant in the winter is because it is easier to spread in the cold as warm weather will destroy the virus in the air.br / br / So with winter on the way how are companies that offer things like a href=http://www.whitestarcruises.co.uk target=_blankluxury cruises/a going to be able to combat the virus if it hits one of their voyages?!–more–br / br / The crew will look at the entire ship and give a nice big clean. Of course they clean the ship anyway but now they seem to be spending a lot more time on everything and using more powerful cleaning products. If this step is done early on then nobody else is likely to catch the virus.br / br / If an outbreak was to actually happen on one of these ships then one of two things would happen. Firstly the people with the virus would be put in quarantine and a flag raised to show where they are on the ship. They may stop people from leaving the ship if the outbreak gets too out of control. Although this could potentially ruin your holiday it is very unlikely to happen and your money would more than likely be returned to you so do not worry if you are about to book one of those a href=http://www.whitestarcruises.com/cruiseline_oceaniacruises.phtml target=_blankOceania cruises/abr / br / So when booking your a href=http://www.whitestarcruises.com/LuxuryRiverCruise.phtml target=_blankriver cruises/a, do not worry about swine flu as everything that can be done to stop it, is being done. Of course there are chances you can still catch the virus but it is often not the companies fault, you just need to make sure you sneeze into tissues and do all the sensible things to prevent giving it to someone if you think you have it.br / br / Of course other means of travel such as air and train are also going through similar procedures so you do not need to worry about catching the virus when going away on holiday./p
