William Vasquez+FollowCruise Ships Hit by Norovirus—Again?!Three cruise ships just had norovirus outbreaks in one week—yikes! Holland America and even National Geographic’s Sea Lion were hit, with dozens of passengers and crew getting sick. Apparently, there’s a new norovirus strain making the rounds, and hand sanitizer isn’t cutting it (soap and water FTW). If you’re cruising soon, wash your hands like your vacation depends on it.

Brad Ramirez+FollowCruise Tattoos Could Cost You BigThinking about getting inked on your next cruise? You might want to think twice! Docs are warning that if you catch an infection from a tattoo (or even a henna job) while on vacation, your travel insurance probably won’t cover it. Turns out, getting a tattoo is basically an open wound, and all that sun, swimming, and less-than-healthy food can up your risk of nasty infections. Maybe save the souvenir ink for when you’re back home? #TravelTips #CruiseLife #TattooWarning #TravelInsurance #VacationFails #Travel133Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowCruise Vacay or Norovirus Getaway?Cruise ships are supposed to be all about relaxation, but lately, they’re making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Nearly 150 people across three ships have been hit with nasty stomach bugs—think vomiting, cramps, and way too many bathroom trips. Most cases were mild and cleared up fast, but it’s wild how common these outbreaks are getting. Cruise lines are on high alert with extra cleaning, but would you still risk it for the buffet? #CruiseLife #TravelNews #Norovirus #TravelTips #VacationFails #Health20Share
ashley89+FollowAirbnb Stays = Secret Food Tax?!Ever noticed how much food you toss after a vacation rental stay? Turns out, Americans are wasting $2.3 BILLION worth of groceries and takeout every year just from short-term rentals like Airbnb and VRBO. That’s like paying an extra tax—$12 a night—just to throw food away! Most of us admit we waste more food on trips than at home. Maybe it’s time for hosts to offer tips on donating or composting leftovers? Would you use a ‘sustainable host’ option? #Travel #FoodWaste #VacationFails00Share
