Hi there,

Really happy to be part of this forum!

I have worked for Disney for 5 years. 3 years at Walt Disney World, and this is my 2nd year for Disney Cruise Line, so feel free to ask my anything about cruising on the four Disney ships!

I only used to listen to Inside the Magic, but Orlando United has really opened my eyes to the big wide world out there.

Feel free to ask me anything, I hope talking about theme parks. I have worked for Merlin here in the UK in Entertainment and now Entertainment at Disney.

Thanks,

Chris

Welcome!!

What are the chances of a massive norovirus outbreak on a ship? Seems like I'm constantly hearing about it happening to Carnival and Royal Caribbean.

And here I figured your first question would have been asking him to tag along on a Disney Cruise :lol:

Great question!

The norovirus is always in the news, but funnily enough, I have worked on the Dream and the Fantasy so far, and never been onboard while there has been a large outbreak (Large = over 2% of the overall people onboard)

Disney Cruise Line encourages regular handwashing and use of hand sanitizing wipes, so the overall illness level never really gets high enough to become a problem.

At the end of the day, if everone just washes their hands after they poop, all will be okay!

Thanks for the question!

I've been around some pretty funny moments... when a kid just drops a big dump in the main lobby. That's how the germs spread!

Oh god, I can't believe the people I see in public that don't wash their hands. The first time I saw this was a co-worker and after that I started using paper towels to open bathroom doors and avoided all food she touched or made :)

So now, can you get us all on a Disney cruise? lol

Let's do a Orlando United cruise!! Which one do you want? I start back on contract on Saturday on a Eastern... so Port Canaveral, Seaday, Seaday, St Maarten, St Thomas, Seaday, Castaway.

Then the next week it is a western - Port Canaveral, Seaday, Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, Cozumel, Seaday, Castaway.

Personally I prefer the Eastern, more too see in my opinion!
