Annual Cruise Line Reports for GI Illness

Disease Strategies developed the color-coded Cruising Healthy Annual Reports system for GI Illness for Cruise Lines under the direction of Frank McAllan, MPH. Disease Strategies is an independent company, not affiliated with the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program, and the CDC neither approves nor sets the criteria for Cruising Healthy Annual Reports. However, all gastrointestinal illness data and cruise ship information is provided by the VSP to Disease Strategies on a periodic basis.

Annual Yellow Report for Cruise Lines

The Cruising Healthy Annual Yellow Report for Cruise Lines is a mathematical summation of GI Illness on the cruise ships they operate. Cruise lines included on this list have performed well, but could do slightly better to contain GI Illness on the ships they operate by 'tweaking' their GI Illness risk management plans and motivating their employees to be more diligent about the spread of GI Illness knowing that GI Illness is present on four out of five cruise ship voyages that visit U.S. ports.

More specifically, cruise line executives as well as passengers might consider several factors including, but not limited to: the cruise line risk management plan for GI Illness; enforcing cruise ship staff to more closely adhere to their risk management plan for GI Illness; the cruise route including each of the intermediate stops; and the cleanliness of the embarking port.
