Mantra hedonism Posted November 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi :D Heading out on The 29 day Spice Trade Route Cruise for my husband’s 70th next Spring. Itinerary includes Indonesia, India, Thailand shore excursions. It is not clear what vaccinations we MUST have to enter these countries. We are from Canada. Can someone who has actually been on this cruise advise us. Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted November 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Indonesia and Thailand are in our Jan 2018 itinerary. We have not received any vaccination notice or advice from the cruise line for shore excursion. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Please be aware that no vaccinations are required for this itinerary. With that said there might be some vaccinations that you might want to consider. Some of this is based on whether or not your vaccinations are up to date and in some instances the types of excursions you plan to do. My recommendation is to discuss this with your physician or to visit a medical office that specializes in travel. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Welcome to Cruise Critic. I would definitely get a flu shot and a pneumonia shot Prevnar 13 for older people) if you have not gotten them. You might want to get a tetanus shot. Talk to your family doctor about Hep A and Hep B -- not needed but he may recommend you get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorex Posted November 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi :DHeading out on The 29 day Spice Trade Route Cruise for my husband’s 70th next Spring. Itinerary includes Indonesia, India, Thailand shore excursions. It is not clear what vaccinations we MUST have to enter these countries. We are from Canada. Can someone who has actually been on this cruise advise us. Thank you so much Let's talk about the definition of "MUST". If "must" means that you either provide proof of specific vaccination/s (or valid letter of exemption) or you are denied boarding/denied entry, then the answer is NONE. The only cruise-related situation where that is the case involves some (but not all) itineraries that include Brazil (or perhaps some other countries where yellow fever is endemic.) However, as previously mentioned, it is always a good idea to confer with your own doctor to be sure that your routine immunizations are up to date. Our CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) gives these guidelines for India. Click around the site for other countries. Note the recommendation for all travelers is to "Make sure you are up-to-date on routine vaccines before every trip. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and your yearly flu shot." Beyond that, the recommendations depend on other factors. In general, don't eat or drink anything from street vendors. This includes bottled water - there are places in the world where vendors pick up empty water bottles, fill them from a hose, and resell them. However, if you are going for lunch at the Four Seasons in Mumbai, you'll probably be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
