Nearly 100 guests and staff affected by a stomach bug at Sandals in 2018

A holiday illness cluster at Sandals Royal Bahamian affected nearly 100 people in August 2018, according to the health minister quoted by The Tribune. Guests and staff reported vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. Health and environmental teams visited the property after the ministry was notified on August 7.

Officials said the early evidence pointed to a viral illness, not confirmed food poisoning. They ruled out a connection to the separate conch-poisoning outbreak and reported that cases had fallen as control measures were implemented. This is a historical outbreak report, not a warning that an outbreak is happening now.

Cruise lawyer warns about parasite exposure during pig-swim excursions

A May 10, 2025 video from the cruiseshiplawyer account advises travelers against swimming with pigs and raises concerns about exposure to animal waste. Its caption also questions whether cruise passengers receive adequate warnings before booking.

This is a lawyer’s public commentary, not an official health alert, a laboratory-confirmed outbreak or a court ruling against a cruise line. It should not be counted as a separate confirmed illness incident. Open the original video to hear the argument and distinguish it from the personal illness accounts linked elsewhere in this archive.

Video coverage: woman describes a prolonged illness after a pig-swim trip

Cruise News Today’s May 8, 2025 report covers a woman’s claim that a lengthy illness began after a pig encounter near Nassau. The linked video’s pig-swim segment starts at 0:10. This is coverage of her account, not a medical case report proving where an infection originated.

Related discussion: The Royalty Adventure, May 16, 2025, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkiQjrCZgwE . That video retells the illness story and other secondhand medical claims; those are not separate verified incidents.

Published medical case: severe leg infection after Bahamas swimming trip

A 2018 clinical case report describes a traveler who swam in resort pools and in the ocean with pigs after a recent skin biopsy. He developed severe cellulitis and a bloodstream infection caused by Shewanella, a marine bacterium. He recovered with antibiotics and did not require surgery. The case supports concern about seawater exposure through an open wound; it does not demonstrate that pigs transmitted the bacteria or identify a responsible excursion company.

Paid pig-photo lines instead of a swim, CocoCay guest says

A March 2024 visitor says the excursion felt more like waiting to hold pigs for paid photographs than swimming with them. The couple paid about $265 and were disappointed by restrictions on personal photos and an additional photo charge. They also describe pigs defecating in the water and staff removing the waste. Those observations do not establish a tested water-quality violation or resulting illness.

Serious infection followed Bahamas vacation, but source of infection was not established

A traveler described becoming critically ill after returning from a Bahamas trip that included swimming with pigs and water slides. The report says he had an ankle scrape before those activities and was later treated for necrotizing fasciitis, requiring an extended recovery. It does not establish which activity, water exposure or organism caused the infection, or identify a responsible operator.

Illness after a pig swim and animal-care concerns in a Rose Island versus Freeport discussion

One participant describes fever, a headache and a severe UTI after swimming with pigs. Others question whether pigs at some Grand Bahama attractions are confined and coaxed into the water. These are different accounts in a discussion comparing Rose Island with Freeport, not a single incident. The thread does not establish the cause of the illness or identify one responsible operator.

Cloudy water, nipping pigs and rough stingray handling at Great Stirrup Cay

“The pigs will also nip at you if you’ve got food (which they give you to feed them).”

The visitor describes seeing a pig with diarrhea, cloudy water and staff collecting waste. At the stingray stop, they say guides held the animals at the surface for paid photos and restrained them when they struggled. They also say personal photos and videos were restricted. These are the visitor’s observations from the original Reddit post, not water-test results or a confirmed infection.

The visit felt much shorter than advertised, according to this guest’s one-star review. They described rude guides, belongings left unattended and pigs that looked unhappy. They were also concerned about dirty water around the animals. The review describes what the guest saw and felt; it does not provide water-test results.
