Cruise woe

I don't know what's up with the cruiseliner season in Scotland this year, but it's going off to a very poor start. This morning, news came out that the liner Island Sky was being examined at Leith, Edinburgh, for disease. Several passengers had come down with diarrhoea and vomiting on passage from the Western Isles to Orkney. They are recovering well.

  1. The same is true of many cruise ships here in the US.... there have been several ships that had to stop and return to port mid-cruise because of it.  I mean, they disinfect the rooms and decks afterwards, but it keeps happening.  Strange, I think...
