FORT LAUDERDALE, CMC – A major cruise line here says more than 100 passengers aboard an 11-day cruise to the Caribbean fell ill with a bad gastrointestinal virus.
On Saturday, Royal Caribbean announced that at least 105 of the 2,000 guests as well as three crew members, fell victim to what was believed to be a norovirus, a common but potent virus that is typically transmitted by fecal contamination in food or water.
The cruise line said the 915-foot vessel Vision of the Seas returned to port here on Friday after the 11-day voyage to St. Kitts, Barbados, Grenada and Aruba.
