The Norwalk-like virus which allegedly hit the Disney cruises is a common cruise-ship 
problem, usually these events are covered up. Whether it is the scale of the virus 
this year or our collective fears of terrorism that brought it to the media, who 
knows. 

I recommend a book "Cruise Ship Blues - The Underside of the Cruise Industry" by Ross 
Klein if anyone is interested in this industry. The author details the environmental 
and economic damage these ships do to the ports they visit, as well as the poor 
working conditions on board and the  various rip-offs used on tourists.

Still, I'd take my chances on the cruise rather than the vaccine.
