New Travel Guide, How to Protect Yourself on a Cruise Vacation, Published by Outskirts Press
New York, NY, February 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published How to Protect Yourself on a Cruise Vacation: Safety Tips that Might Save Your Life by Yvonne Griffin. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the self-help category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/howtoprotectyourselfonacruisevacation was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
Cruise vacations are usually safe -- but as the ships grow larger and the number of passengers increases -- real problems can crop up both on board and in ports of calls.
For example, during the period 2003–2005 twenty-eight people disappeared from cruise ships -- five were recovered or found -- and the others have never been seen again. According to the FBI many of the sexual assaults and rapes that occur on the high seas occur on cruise ships. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that during two cruise seasons, 2005 and 2006, there were fifty-six outbreaks of the Norovirus or “stomach flu” onboard cruise ships.
Readers can go ahead and plan their trips, but they’ll be prepared for anything by reading the well-researched safety tips in this book. They’ll know what to expect and become aware of the sensitive areas where problems are most likely to occur so that they can avoid or sidestep them and go on to have a wonderful cruise. They’ll learn what the CDC says they can do to increase their chances of avoiding the Norovirus. They’ll know what to do in emergency situations.
There are problems on many of the cruises that are never publicized and travelers need to know about them. What one knows before one goes up the gangplank may actually save one’s life.
How to Protect Yourself on a Cruise Vacation will enable travelers to act quickly and responsibly to protect themselves, their families, members of their travel group and other passengers.
187 pages in length, How to Protect Yourself on a Cruise Vacation: Safety Tips that Might Save Your Life is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the self-help category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, How to Protect Yourself on a Cruise Vacation meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $18.95.
