Cruise-Travel-Vacations: Don't Let the Food Spoil Your Cruise!

In June 2000 there was an outbreak on the Disney Magic that caused over 260 people to develop gastroenteritis. The CDC traced the illness to shrimp that was served on the embarkation lunch buffet.

The CDC found "a variety of bacterial and parasitic pathogens" in stool samples of passengers who ate the shrimp. Outbreaks such as the one on Disney Magic are relatively rare, given the large numbers of people who are cruising.

Many of us who travel extensively develop a fatalistic attitude about dining out in general, and feel that the pleasures of traveling far outweigh the risks of "catching something" or getting diarrhea.

Fortunately for us, the CDC works with the cruise line industry to prevent gastrointestinal pathogenic outbreaks, and there are steps you can take to help prevent or lessen your chances of getting food poisoning.

The CDC began its Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) in the early 1970s. This program is a cooperative activity between the CDC and the cruise ship industry to help minimize the risk of gastrointestinal diseases. The VSP seems to be working. In the 1970s and early 1980s, 12 to 15 outbreaks of diarrheal illness occurred each year on cruise ships. By 1999, the number of outbreaks had decreased to three.

Here are some tips:

*Do some of your own cruise research by writing to cruise lines for their literature and by surfing on the Internet to cruise web sites, but depend on your local travel agent to make your booking. Almost all cruise bookings (about 95 percent) are through travel agents. An agent's expertise can be crucial in getting you a good fly-cruise combination.

*Coordinate your evening dining time selection (usually there is an early and a late seating) with your planned shore excursions and general preference. You usually dine at the same table for the duration of the cruise.

*If you plan to buy "duty free" items, especially major purchases, check out what their prices are locally, in your hometown, before going. Duty free may be an illusion compared to your local discount shopping prospects. Generally, you will be able to return with $400 in duty free goods, paying 10 percent on the next $1000 of goods, though there are individual country and commodity preferences.

*Tipping policy will vary with the cruise line. For example, Holland America has a "no tipping required" policy. Other companies will specify the range of people not to forget, starting with your room steward and dining room waiter. Expect total tipping to run about $15 per day per person.

If you're looking for a carefree vacation with excellent cuisine, consider a cruise vacation. The large number of repeat customers (about 84 per cent) in cruise travel suggests that many travel consumers enjoy what they have experienced.
