Nearly 70 passengers, crew on month-long Princess cruise stricken with norovirus

About 70 people on a month-long cruise from Singapore to Los Angeles were stricken with norovirus when an outbreak swept through the massive cruise liner.

Of the 1,822 passengers onboard the Coral Princess, 55 came down with the misery-inducing illness – while 15 of the 907 crew also got sick, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Most suffered “diarrhea and vomiting,” the CDC said.

The ship, which heaved off on Oct. 17, has since implemented more stringent “cleaning and disinfection procedures according to their outbreak prevention and response plan,” the federal agency said.

The CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program is monitoring the outbreak remotely.

The federal agency requires ships to inform them of such outbreaks when 3% or more of guests and crew members experience symptoms, according to Cruise Hive.
