1) CLOSED MICRO-COMMUNITY
Guests and crew alike live and work in a close environment hence, the risk of illnesses is higher.
2) DENSELY POPULATED
In addition to the close environment there are big numbers of guests and crew in a relatively small surface area.
3) INTERNATIONAL GUESTS AND CREW
Guests and crew on board come from different countries hence, the risk of carrying illnesses are greater.
4) MOBILE & INTERACTIVE POPULATION
Much of the population on board is moving around and interaction levels are high.
5) RAPID TURNOVER
Guests and crew alike change (embark/disembark) frequently.
6) VARIABLE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF PROVISIONS
As food provisioning needs to arrive in very high volumes, its nigh impossible to check if all food items consumed are of best quality all the time.
7) POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSIVE DISEASE OUTBREAKS
This is due to a close environment, whereby the risk for exposure concerning disease outbreaks may be high.
8) NO STANDARDIZED MEDICAL CARE SYSTEM
Even though there are hospitals on board their capabilities may be not adequate to treat certain diseases and incidents.
