Brett Jardine - General Manager

Cruise HygieneA SUBJECT often misunderstood bymany who have not cruised before is thatregarding hygiene on board. The cruiseindustry as a whole is committed toensuring the highest standards of healthand sanitation on board vessels at alltimes.

All CLIA cruise line members delivercomprehensive sanitation programs inorder to minimise passenger discomfortwhilst on their cruise holiday.

International regulations requiretwice yearly un-announced inspectionsby health authorities to ensure toughstandards are being met.

Inspections look at a number of areas onboard including: -- the ships water supply- storage, preparation and service of foodthroughout the ship- pools & spas to ensure adequate ltration- crew training- overall cleanliness of vessels

Since the introduction of inspectionsand tight regulations across the industry,levels of illness on vessels around theworld have decreased dramaticallydespite the signi cant growth in thenumber of ships and passengers cruising.

One of the best preventative measurespassengers can take to help avoid illnesswhilst on board is to consciously use theantiseptic hand washing dispensers thatare conveniently located throughout allpublic areas - every time you walk pastthem!

This may seem a little obsessive andyes, they are full of alcohol (so your handswill be constantly dry) but it is worth theefort.

Cost Efective Targeted Easy

A CHInEsE man nearly found himself withthe mother of all hangovers a er becomingtrapped inside a shipping container boundfor a two-week voyage to the USA.

Jiang Wu, while on holiday in the Chineseharbourside city of Qingdao on the countryseastern coast, had himself a rather big night

on the town, and when it came me toleave, may have been a tad disoriented.

Wu, perhaps thinking he was on his wayback to the Bed & Breakfast where hewas staying, actually wandered down tothe nearby container port and mistakinglythought one of the shipping containers washis room, promptly passing out inside.

The container, with Wu inside, was soona erward sealed and loaded onto a shipabout to sail for two weeks to Los Angeles.

Once he woke up and discovered all wasnot well, Wu phoned the police, however

from inside, he had no idea which containeramong the thousands on the port he was in.

The man was eventually found inside acontainer stacked 18 metres in the air.
