SbbquilterUT Posted November 22, 2023 #26 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Did you stay in a hotel the night prior to boarding - that can also be a way to pick up those nasty critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastdance Posted November 22, 2023 #27 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Well, just enough to get people talking, but hopefully more information will follow. Do not allow your imaginations to run wild! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many do not react to the bites so would be unaware and unless they see the bug which is nocturnal ( or just like dark places) they won't know Them stating “Not common” is a cop out, we don't know if that means one per saiiling, one per month, quartetly, annually, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousands of people turnover every sailing. Cruise ships and hotels can't prevent people from bringing bed bugs in. All they can do is monitor and treat them as soon as seen so they don't spread. You take a risk of bed bugs anytime you travel or stay anywhere. And from what I'm reading bed bug reports all over are up so that risk may be increasing some. So to me, an isolated report like this one is a "nothing to see here" kind of report. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how much a hotel costs or how many "stars" it has. I travelled for a living before I retired and stayed in many nice hotels and still experienced bed bugs. There are on-line websites to check for reports of bed bug activity such as this one: Bed Bug Reports - Check Hotels and Apartments Before You Stay They don't report that there are no bed bugs, only report if someone reported any. I always check before I go to any hotel. Bed bugs are especially prevalent in the NE U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
