How to Stay Well on a Cruise | 10 Things I Do to Avoid Getting Sick on a Cruise Ship
How do you stay well on a cruise ship and reduce your chances of getting sick? As a registered nurse and frequent cruiser, I’m sharing 10 things I personally do before and during every cruise to help me stay well. Cruise ships bring thousands of people together in shared spaces, which means shared handrails, elevator buttons, buffet utensils, dining areas and plenty of other common touchpoints. I certainly don't spend my vacation worrying about germs—but over years of cruising, I've developed some simple habits that have become second nature to me. Some of the things on my list start before I ever board the ship, while others are small things I do throughout each cruise. And one of the simplest habits on my list is also one that's incredibly easy to forget. These are the things I personally do to help me stay well on a cruise ship. They aren't a guarantee that I won't get sick, and this isn't individual medical advice—just the habits I've incorporated into the way I cruise. 🛳️ What do YOU do to stay well on a cruise? After you watch, share your own habits and observations in the comments. Your tip might be something I haven't thought of—and it may help another cruiser, too!
