At this point, way too busy, exasperated, and exhausted from past infections to care. 🤧 I leave the prophylaxis to my physicians, one of whom declared, "Oh! Cruises are cesspools." But my family and I enjoy them . . . Admittedly, does not make a lot of sense. I have a friend who really suffers. She brings her nebulizer on cruises and still has to go to the ship's infirmary for treatment. ???

Thanks for sharing your experience. Btw: we cruised on the Oasis (RC) -- 1st large ship and strongly agree with the Cruise Critic article on stateroom cleanliness. Having not read this article before the cruise, I, nevertheless, implemented every suggestion except the author's additional brilliant idea: place the tv remote in a plastic bag! (yes!!!)  Guess what! I used disinfectant wipes on every surface including all upholstery. Followed with a total disinfectant SPRAY wipe down before the safety boat presentation. Check this also: I customarily enjoyed a cruise-long spa pool and relaxation experience. But on this cruise, I reluctantly turned down this treat. Ultimately, we enjoyed the cruise and returned without respiratory infections. Hope you have healthy cruises in the future. And thank you for your thoughtful concern.

Thanks. it looks interesting and I think I'll order it. Even taking the auto train to Florida is a situation filled with recirculating air; thus germs.

Stopped cruising this year, since needing medical treatment for serious upper respiratory infections after last THREE cruises! We took only personal car and then bus transportation from home to cruise ports. Later, flew to the Caribbean with absolutely no problems. Decided to resume treatment with an allergist. We'll see . . .

Btw: kept very well hydrated, frequently washed hands, and had balcony stateroom, updated annual flu and pneumonia shots. Any thoughts?
