Over 600 passengers and crew fall ill on Royal Caribbean cruise

More than 600 passengers and crew members fell ill aboard a Royal
Caribbean cruise ship, with symptoms that included vomiting and
diarrhea, the Centers for Disease Control said on Monday.

The latest figure doubles initial reports of some 300 affected by what
cruise officials called a gastrointestinal illness, and includes 577
passengers and 49 crew members, a CDC official said.

The company has said the 10-day Caribbean cruise would end two days
early, with the ship returning to its home port in New Jersey on
Wednesday.

"New reports of illness have decreased day-over-day, and many guests are
again up and about," Royal Caribbean said in a written statement on
Sunday. "Nevertheless, the disruptions caused by the early wave of
illness means that we were unable to deliver the vacation our guests
were expecting."

The CDC said in a statement that passengers and crew members aboard the
Explorer of the Seas reported becoming sick during the voyage. The ship
was carrying 3,050 passengers and a crew of 1,165.

The ship departed Cape Liberty, New Jersey on January 21.

Another scandal for Mr. Big!



Why is that? Seems these illnesses on cruise ships is an increasing
occurrence regardless of the home port.



Just a long shot of a joke, since everything bad about Jersey is being
blamed on Mr. Big. Isn't he responsible for that TV show, The Really
Fat, Promiscuous Babes of Jersey Shore?

Seriously, you really have to wonder what is going on with these ships.
Even the Cunard Line has had an outbreak.

What happens when they run out of teepee?


Don't believe it's happened on a Disney Cruise...yet.

It has. But they only carry 3% of North American cruisers.
Chances are probably the same. **** happens.

Gosh, hasn't made the news that I know of. But, I can stand to be enlightened if you can do so.
Perhaps they carry the smartest 3%?
