“This information should not be a vacation-breaker. It’s just common-sense advice taken from Main Street and shifted onto the Lido Deck. According to the U.S. Maritime Administration, which keeps track of passengers sailing on cruise ships, 10.6 million people cruised in 2010, so it can’t be all that bad.
