PHAC, CDC websites provide sanitation grades for cruise lines, ships
Both the Public Health Agency of Canada and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta inspect and report on sanitation conditions of cruise ships. The information they gather is made public via their websites.

The CDC has operated an extensive Vessel Sanitation Program (http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/default.htm) since the 1970s. It monitors for gastrointestinal outbreaks on cruise ships and inspects ships to try to minimize the health risks to passengers and crew.

The website posts a monthly Green Sheet with the latest reports. Would-be cruise passengers can search for information by cruise line and even by individual ship.

Look Before you Book

WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
If we worried every time we cruised, flew or got into our cars we would
never go anywhere.
I have already posted what happened to my husband on our last cruise,
but we are still going (God willing) on a cruise next September.
