    Carnival cancels Mexico

    cruise stops over flu fear

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    <!--BEGIN ARTICLE-->MIAMI -- Carnival Corp. has suspended stops at Mexican ports over concerns about swine flu.
    The company says it canceled Mexico stops for three ships scheduled to visit the country Tuesday. It hasn't yet announced a decision on future stops there.
    Meanwhile, the company and competitors Royal Caribbean International and Norwegian Cruise Lines tried to allay guest fears by emphasizing how thoroughly the ships are cleaned.
    Norwegian's Pearl is on a special voyage with Mexico stops. The company says it is monitoring the situation and asking passengers about their health before cruises start.
    Royal Caribbean says it's monitoring the situation but telling passengers not to worry because the outbreaks are inland, not in the Mexican coastal cities popular with cruise tourists.

    This is a topic in Alaskan news, given our large tourism industry. Radio news this morning said cruise companies are issuing statements saying they are "monitoring" the situation, but they are refusing interviews.

    they have lots of successful experience fighting Noro, so following the same procedures should assist with fighting swine flu.
