More than 100 people have fallen ill with norovirus on a cruise ship that left Florida last week and is set to return soon, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The Caribbean Princess cruise ship left from Port Everglades on April 28 and will be returning to Port Canaveral in Brevard County on May 11, according to Cruise Mapper.
As of Thursday, May 7, there were 102 passengers and 13 crew members on the ship who reported being ill, the CDC said. Those affected by the latest norovirus outbreak have showed the typical symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting.
The virus, which is highly contagious, is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, according to the health agency. Officials said it spreads quickly from sick people and through contaminated food, water or surfaces.
