More Sick Ships

At least 25 passengers on the Disney cruise ship Magic have contracted a flu-like illness, just days after the ship was scrubbed for hours because 275 people fell ill on an earlier trip.

...

A Norwalk-like virus is suspected of sickening more than 500 passengers and crew aboard the Holland America Line cruise ship Amsterdam the past few weeks. Last week Holland America canceled 10-day cruise out of Port Everglades to allow time for a thorough decontamination of the Amsterdam.

Meanwhile, nearly a dozen people fell ill aboard the Amsterdam's sister vessel, which arrived in San Diego on Monday. About 10 passengers on the Statendam complained of fever, nausea and other flu-like symptoms.

Earlier this month, 42 passengers on a cruise to Hawaii also became sick aboard the 720-foot Statendam.

Makes one wonder what might be behind this sudden rash of illnesses.
