Legionnaires' disease and travelers
This article suggests that hotels and resorts should do more to inform people about Legionnaires' disease, which apparently likes pools and spas. I don't really know how much we can do as travelers because I certainly don't want to skip the pools when i go to a resort or on a cruise or something.
Speaking of cruises, I have a coupon for a 2 person, 2 category upgrade coming my way thanks to my NCL card. It looks like I'll be trying out an NCL cruise at some point this summer and staying in either a balcony room or a suite...
Brushing up on cruise tipping etiquette, I think I found out how much the average person tips on cruises:
People who clean the cabin: $5/day
Waiters: $5/person/meal (this might be split by the waiters and bussers)
Bellhop: $1/bag
Does this sound about right?

No worries about tipping anymore - it is automatically added to your onboard account to make things easier all around.
