Which company? I think Chuck is on Norwegian.

I cruised on the Norwegian Star, summer of 2005. No complaints, would do
it again and no doubt will.


I've often thought about taking a cruise. We've never done that ... well, I
did on a couple of Navy destroyers. Accommodations weren't all that great,
but we never went hungry.

My concern is the stories of unsanitary conditions and the spread of various
virus type illnesses. The occasional failure of ship's systems or fire
doesn't bother me much but the seeming regular stories of ships returning to
port with a few hundred ill passengers bothers me.

Am I overly concerned?

I don't know the stats, but I'm fairly sure it's a small percentage of the
ships that have the health problems. It's not something I worry about, and
that's on a Disney ship full of kids. There are anti-bacterial wipes almost
everywhere one goes on the ship.
