Speakers Cruise Free - Red Alert - Splendour of the Seas

Speaking Tip: in yesteryears the scourge of the seas was pirates. Today its the Norway Virus.

Think of it as Montezuma's Revenge on the high seas.

Last week a competitor, and inferior, line to Royal Caribbean here in Brazil had an outbreak making 200+ passengers violently ill on MSC cruises. That initiated a yellow alert on Splendour, the highest rated line in South America, in part BECAUSE they are so careful about the Norway virus.

Royal had a family with similar symptoms returning from shore in Buenos Aires. It's almost certainly from a bad restaurant but the crew acted immediately moving to red alert and placing the family in quarantine.

This photo is of the hand sanitation station all over the ship they require EVERYONE to use!

These kinds of first world quality and sanitation standard have made Royal Caribbean the most popular cruise among Brazilians.

I'm aboard Royal Caribbean International's Splendour of the Seas on the southern Brazilian coast on Day 16 of my 16 day cruise!

Great reminder of things. I try to carry those small bottles of hand sanitizer with me. This last November I was the destination speaker on the Emerald Princess (thanks Dan - doing it again on April 9th) and that Princess ship had hand sanitizer stations all over the ship, but especially at the entrance to each restaruant (where they personally handed you a sanitizer sheet) and stations such as you pictured, at each food line.
