We love sailing on a cruise as much as the next person, but we know many people have been hesitant to book their next vacation this year amid the large number of disease outbreaks that have happened on cruise ships this year.
In February, a third norovirus outbreak had already occurred on one singular cruise line, and earlier this month, nearly 240 people got sick with norovirus aboard the luxury Cunard Queen Mary 2. While Disney Cruise Line has thankfully been spared from these outbreaks at this time, many other cruise lines have struggled with them, and despite this being a particularly bad season for outbreaks, CDC cruise ship inspectors have just been let go from their positions.
