Creator's Key Takeaways

Last year, more than500 cruise passengers from various cruise lines got sick from norovirus.

Bring a pack of disinfectant wipes with you. I use the Clorox brand.

This is actually the dirtiest touch surface item in the entire stateateroom.

While all cruise lines follow the vessel sanitation program by the CDC and clean cabins between guests, this cleaning routine adds an extra layer of protection.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a pack of disinfectant wipes with you.
Clean your cell phone upon arrival.
Wipe down the TV remote, door handle, light switches, thermostat, safe keypad, closet handles, drawers, cabinets, fridge, and electrical outlet covers.
Wipe down the toilet handle, seat, and bathroom faucets.
Wash your hands regularly while on the cruise ship.
