One crew member has also fallen ill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common symptoms are diarrhea and vomiting. The outbreak was reported to the CDC on September 28. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that spreads easily in close quarters, such as cruise ships, and typically causes vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, Royal Caribbean and the ship\u2019s crew implemented enhanced cleaning and disinfection measures, isolated affected individuals, and collected stool specimens for testing. The CDC said VSP is remotely monitoring the outbreak and reviewing the ship\u2019s response procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The largest cruise ship outbreak reported so far this year occurred in March aboard Cunard Line\u2019s Queen Mary 2, when 266 passengers and 19 crew members became ill during a transatlantic voyage. Like the current outbreak, the illness was attributed to norovirus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A norovirus outbreak has sickened dozens of people on a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship currently sailing in the Atlantic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
