Our Medical teams on each ship closely monitor levels of illness. As soon as we see any evidence of raised levels of illness on board, we immediately take appropriate steps depending on the nature of the illness involved.
For example, where Norovirus is suspected, we initiate an extensive and thorough environmental sanitation program and provide help and advice to everyone on board.
In order to prevent the spread of any such outbreaks, we ask affected people to remain in their staterooms while contagious and emphasize the importance of regular and thorough hand washing, especially before eating.
In addition you will notice that before embarking the ship or entering dining venues on board, we ask everyone to use the hand sanitizing gels provided. In some instances we also serve food in order to reduce the risk of transmission from person to person.
