During November 2022\u2013June 2024, CDC was notified of 12 cases of Legionnaires disease among travelers on two cruise ships; eight on cruise ship A and four on cruise ship B. CDC, in collaboration with the cruise lines, initiated investigations to ascertain the potential sources of on-board exposure after notification of the second potentially associated case for each ship. Epidemiologic data collected from patient interviews and environmental assessment and sampling results identified private hot tubs on selected cabin balconies as the most likely exposure source. [&#8230;] Private hot tubs on cruise ships are not subject to the same maintenance requirements as are public hot tubs in common areas. Given the range of hot tub\u2013type devices offered as amenities across the cruise industry, to reduce risk for Legionella growth and transmission, it is important for cruise ship water management program staff members to inventory and assess private balcony hot tubs and adapt public hot tub maintenance and operations protocols for use on private outdoor hot tubs.\ufeff<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">It turns out the ships\u2019 private hot tubs were not, as I had assumed, <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 kdASgk js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.redbubble.com\/i\/t-shirt\/I-Contracted-Legionnaires-Disease-By-Drinking-The-Condensation-From-My-Ac-Unit-AND-ALL-I-GOT-WAS-A-10-000-HOSPITAL-BILL-by-ExcitedMood\/97192361.WFLAH&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/www.redbubble.com\/i\/t-shirt\/I-Contracted-Legionnaires-Disease-By-Drinking-The-Condensation-From-My-Ac-Unit-AND-ALL-I-GOT-WAS-A-10-000-HOSPITAL-BILL-by-ExcitedMood\/97192361.WFLAH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">filled with window unit air conditioner condensation<\/a><\/span> instead of chlorinated water. Rather, simple maintenance items like cleaning and draining frequency allowed the legionella bacteria to take root. The CDC report states that the ships in question underwent cleaning and mitigation measures after the outbreaks were reported, though it appears one ship may still be working to fix its last few hot tubs. Maybe stay away from cruise ships for a bit until that\u2019s fixed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">With the sheer number of reports about disease and issues on cruise ships, it\u2019s something of a wonder that anyone still spends the money to ride on one.
