Two More Cruises Return To Port With Sickened Passengers

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - Two more cruise ships returned from their voyages Sunday, each with about 100 sickened passengers on-board.

The Sun Princess docked at Port Everglades on Sunday morning, and Princess Cruise Line confirmed that almost 100 people on-board have been suffering symptoms of the Norovirus.

The cruise line said steps to contain the virus were immediately implemented at the first sign of illness among passengers.

The ship was returning from a 10-day eastern Caribbean tour out of Fort Lauderdale.

The Freedom of the Seas also came back Sunday with 97 sick passengers experiencing symptoms of Norovirus.

Last week, Freedom also came back with 381 sick passengers.

At the recommendation of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Royal Caribbean International said it was delaying the ship's departure for two days to conduct "enhanced" cleaning before it leaves Tuesday on a modified five-night Caribbean cruise.
