    Ship with stomach virus outbreak sets sail

    MIAMI (AP) — A cruise ship that reported an outbreak of a stomach virus is ready to sail from South Florida with new passengers.

    Princess Cruise Lines says 92 passengers and 13 crew members aboard the Ruby Princess were affected by Norovirus. It causes vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain.

    The ship returned to Port Everglades Sunday and is getting ready to sail Sunday after being disinfected.

    A second ship, Crown Princess, had reported passengers and crew members getting sick, but spokeswoman Julie Benson says the cause of the illnesses is not yet known. The ship returned to Port Everglades Saturday and returned to sea later that night.

    All cabins and public areas on the ships were disinfected, which briefly delayed their next departures. Both ships were carrying just over 3,000 passengers each.

      After all these years of ship travel you would think that they would have everything under control. But, no! Why do people still sign up for these tours? Never had this problem in the Navy. Never got bad food, sick, etc., ever. And this included four tours of Vietnam.

      I never got the whole cruise thing. We know now they can sink, people get NV all the time (or is it really food poisoning or intentional sabotage - are we being misled?), pirates can attack you, although they mute this in the news there are burglaries and rapes on board, and people have known to fall off and get lost at sea. Really, I don't get it.

      Oh yeah.
      I want to do a cruise.
      I also want a date with Obama's illegal immigrant Somali aunt.

      This is the reason why I'll probably never go on a cruise. One, there's no laws out on the high seas where pirates can get at you, two the ship sinks or has issues then it can take a very long time for someone to reach it and help, and three, this stomach virus crap happens way too often. I've heard about it happening several times....

      Not much of a month for the cruise industry. Personally, its something I would never do.

      Stay OFF of cruise ships--dangerous and dirty.

      Breaking news - the passengers were subjected to a Ron Paul commercial just before they became sick.

      I lived in Ft Lauderdale, Florida in the eighties. Port Everglades hosted many cruise ships for stocking and cleaning. The cruise ships seen from the belly up so to speak, made me vow never to cruise. I will not pay a huge amount of money to be bound on a floating mass all painted nice when underneath the rodents, insects and the germs carried surround me.
