CRUISE LINES TURN THEIR EYES BACK ON MEXICO PORTS
Despite more than 21,000 cases of swine flu world wide, cruise lines are in hurry to have done with the swine flu scare. Cruise lines that switched itineraries to steer clear of Mexico are revisiting their plans.
Carnival has already resumed its Mexican port calls. Its 46,000-ton Holiday was back in Cozumel this past weekend with its 1,700 passengers as part of a four-day sailing from Mobile, Atlanta. Next to resume their Mexico calls are Carnival Ecstasy and Carnival Fantasy which leave Galveston and New Orleans on June 13.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) is not quite so mellow. Its swine flu alert level remains at Phase 5, which means there is human-to-human spread of the virus in at least two countries in the same region.
