katiepe Posted November 24, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2012 A warning to all those on the lovely Spirit this winter. Make sure you take insect repellent and use it before docking in Madeira. There have been a number of confirmed cases of dengue fever this past October which is a real rarity. Simple enough to prevent with mosquito repellent but not something you would normally pack on a European Cruise. I havent heard if they are not docking.

Fishbait17 Posted November 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for the warning and great advice, especially since Dengue Fever mosquitoes bite during the day - many people assume that disease spreading insects are only present in the evening. I have noticed dengue fever outbreaks in many areas where people would not assume it to be an issue. Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
