I don't think so although there is a definite need for such a study. I wish
congress would weigh in on this issue. Since these ships seem to be
breeding grounds for disease I think that there should by law be
compensation across the board for all passengers affected. When hundreds of
people lose thousands of dollars invested in cruise ship vacations regularly
because of infections acquired on these unclean vehicles there should be
serious consequences for the cruise lines. Passengers who catch these
diseases aboard cruise ships should by law have the entire vacation
replicated at the cruise lines cost. You can be sure that if such a legal
requirement were in place the industry would clean up it's act very quickly.
