Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd said on Friday that 108 people fell sick with a gastrointestinal illness believed to be a norovirus on its Vision of the Seas ship, which docked in Port Everglades, Florida, at the end of an 11-day trip.
The outbreak was the latest black eye for the cruise industry, trying to regain its sea legs after several high-profile mishaps.
Royal Caribbean said those sickened had responded well to the over-the-counter medicine they were given.
It said 105 of 1,991 passengers and 3 of 772 crew members aboard fell ill. http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/world/story/royal-caribbean-cruise-ship-hit-virus-108-sick-20130309
