Swine Flu Statement
April 27, 2009
 
We’ve been closely monitoring all developments regarding the Swine Flu, to help ensure the health and well-being of our guests and crew members.Health authorities from a variety of nations are investigating the situation and we remain keenly attuned to their progress. We maintain close working relationships with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and our industry association, and we’re working in close coordination with them.It is important to note that health authorities have not raised concerns regarding the ports of call we visit in Mexico. None of our sailings have been altered and none are scheduled to be.Our ships visiting Mexico are taking pro-active measures, such as:

  • Placing a notice in the daily, onboard newsletter to provide our guests with basic information regarding this matter.
  • Placing a letter, along with a fact sheet from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in each guest stateroom
  • Providing hand sanitizers throughout the ship.
  • And, conducting enhanced sanitizing of all high-touch areas.

We’re also asking guests to follow the advice of medical experts regarding the best ways to help prevent flu and other illnesses:

  • Washing hands thoroughly with soap and hot water – often.
  • Covering the mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
  • Putting used tissues in waste baskets.
  • If tissues are not available, coughing or sneezing into upper sleeves, not one’s hands.

Like our guests, we take all health matters seriously and we’ll continue to closely follow all developments regarding the Swine Flu. Additional information regarding Swine Flu is available at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website: www.cdc.gov
