Ways to keep healthy before cruise?

No advice, but I understand how you feel. My daughter has a knack for getting sick before every vacation or holiday. Last Thanksgiving it was the flu (which put her out for an entire week DESPITE a flu shot), then two days before Christmas it was a stomach virus. The night before we left for our Disney cruise she started crying about her ears. Being in a hotel in Cocoa Beach we weren't sure what to do, so I just got some ear drops and figured if it gets unbearable there was a Dr. on board. Came back and sure enough, ear infection. Can't win. And she is 4 so as much as we try with hygiene there are times when you can't stop them before they do the gross stuff that kids do.
