How do you stay healthy onboard?

Hand washing as everyone has said is necessary. The trouble w/ nv is that it can also be spread through airborne routes. So besides vigilant hand washing you do need some luck as well.

Thanks for the remote tip. Totally forgot about that one.

I have to tell you that I never thought about wiping down the common areas in the cabin until I joined cruise crazies and you all told me that you did this. I love this idea and have been wiping down the cabin knobs, switches, balcony door, etc. ever since!

My Aunt is a very avid cruise taker and I am trying to follow in her footsteps.... She swears by this one hand sanitizer called Home-Rid Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer. Apparently this sanitizer lasts for up to 24 hours and still allows you to wash your hands regularly without interupting your protection.. (by the way my family is a group of germophobes sprinkled with some hypochondriacs )

I have a cruise to the bahamas coming up so I went look on their website (www.home-rid.com) and ordered not only the hand sanitizer but also they have a long lasting sanitizing spray that I plan to spray my my room down with when I get there. Seems like the best hand sanitizer I can find out there yet!!!!! Let me know what you guys think

SPark, is that Home-Rid spray anti-viral as well?

May have to check that out.

[DebbieandJerry]

Thanks for the suggestion. Can I get this at Walgreens or is it online only?

[SPark524]

I havent found a store that carries it but they seem to ship pretty readily.... it is anti viral too ColoradoCruisers... I really do think it works and my hands arent dried out so its slowly but surely making me a firm believer.

Deb and Jerry i just learned that the Home-Rid stuff just went on amazon.. they sent me an email.. i guess they are really trying to get it out there

ooo i am so excited to here about this product... i read a statistic that 1 ship everyweek this year has gotten noro.. i feel like noro is taking over my favorite vacations!

I will definitely check on amazon for this hand sanitizer, if anything it cant hurt lol thanks SPark

No handrails on the stairs, lots of hand washing, and I use my knuckles to push buttons, not fingers.
