Voyage Orange Alerts

Cruising Healthy Voyage Orange Alerts provide GI Illness information on cruise ships, cruise lines and cruise ports. Voyage Orange Alerts are in the middle to upper tier of significant reportable percentages of GI Illness within the Cruising Healthy Voyage Alert system. An Orange Alert indicates that, without proper risk management, the GI Illness may become uncontrollable. This list includes all voyages that have at least fifteen or as many as twenty-nine people per thousand with a physician confirmed diagnosis of GI Illness and either passengers or crew reached the Orange Alert threshold.

Respectively, the five Cruising Healthy Voyage Alert colors are Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Black for increasing percentages of GI Illness. Within this context, Tier IV, the fifth voyage category, is considered a "Voyage Black Alert", which means the GI Illness Incidence on a particular voyage meets the Vessel Sanitation Program's formal definition of a GI Illness Outbreak and should be reported to the general public on the CDC website. Please note that the Cruising Healthy Voyage Alert color-coding system is instituted by Disease Strategies and not supported or acknowledged by the Vessel Sanitation Program or the cruise industry.

Three sorts allow readers to intelligently compare the health performances of cruise ship voyages with any cruise line or ports. Compensating for a port enables ship medical officers to consider risk management implications when computing their custom Cruising Healthy GI Index. For cruising enthusiasts, prospective research empowers potential passengers making intelligent vacation decisions, while retrospective research confirms (or denies) the existence of a GI issue onboard a past cruise.
