Norwegian Cruise Line Closes Hot Tubs | Wilmington News

Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

Norwegian Cruise Line is shutting down hot tubs and whirlpools on the Norwegian Prima after three passengers from earlier cruises tested positive for Legionnaires’ disease — a serious pneumonia caused by airborne bacteria. While the CDC hasn’t confirmed ship exposure, the cruise line is acting fast, notifying potentially exposed guests and crew, ramping up cleaning, and pausing all water features until testing is complete. Though recent water tests are clean, safety first: they’re following CDC guidelines to protect everyone, especially those at higher risk. Online chatter’s split — some say hot tubs are risky anyway, others agree they’re breeding grounds — but the cruise line’s message is clear: guest and crew health comes first.
