An “unknown” outbreak aboard a cruise ship is spreading, and now 154 people are sickened, said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in an update this week.
So far, 25 crew members and 129 passengers on the Carnival-owned Cunard Cruise Line’s Queen Victoria have become ill during the trip, which is up by about 15 cases from when the illnesses were reported earlier in February, according to the CDC. The Queen Victoria cruise has 1,824 passengers and 967 crew members on board, according to the agency.
It’s still not clear what’s causing the outbreak on the cruise ship, which left Florida on Jan. 22. Symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, said the CDC, which provided no other details.

“symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, “
Ho-hum... sounds like your standard-issue cruise-ship norovirus outbreak.
Nah, couldn’t be noro...
SNORT.
vomiting and diarrhea + virulent contagion = Norovirus, the cruise ship companion ...
DISEASE X!
OMG!
We’re all gonna die!!
Quick, mask up and stay six feet apart. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Unless it’s on a Cunard ship.
Then it’s a mystery.
It seems that there is always an outbreak of something on cruise ships. I have lost all desire to travel on one.

Its an election year. People need to be be able to vote remotely! They cant stand it line while they are sick.
They took a cruise on a giant floating apartment building and the vomiting and diarrhea flowed freely.
The sad thing is that CDC has tanked its credibility. Someday, there will be a serious virus and 2/3 of the country will not believe them. Boy who cried wolf anyone?
It was the salmon mousse.
I heard the toilets got clogged up and were flooding the many of the rooms.
Considering how human waste gets processed on cruise ships, just be glad you’re not a fish.
What’s the mystery, it’s norovirus, it’s always norovirus that’s spreads on these cruise ships.
