The ship was enroute from St. Lucia.
Only one pax required evacuation. He’s now ashore with his wife. The ship doctor requested medicines from shore for other passengers, who will remain on board until they arrive in Miami.
Breakout not as widespread as initially suggested by the reports.
** CLARIFICATION ** - It was an elderly passenger that got sick and it was a precaution. Not a breakout, as initially reported.
Hi all - I am on board the Pearl - sailed 11/30 out of Miami. There has indeed been a siginificant noro outbreak on-board. This was reported to the CDC in the last several hours. After talking to folks in hallways and elevators, and seeing the LONG line in the medical bay - I'd say a lot of people have been infected. We just left out last port (St Lucia) and two days at sea on our way back to Miami. FYI - this has been my most favorite cruise yet.
