The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that 135 people were sickened with an “unknown” illness while on board a cruise ship operated by Cunard Line.
In an update issued on Jan. 31, the agency said that the predominant symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, but it said the “causative agents” are “unknown.” Out of about 2,700 passengers and crew, 135 were sickened on Cunard Line’s Queen Victoria, which is on a planned voyage from Jan. 22 to Feb. 12. However, the cases that have been currently reported “do not represent the number of active (symptomatic) gastrointestinal cases at any given port of call or at disembarkation,” the agency said.

Never go on a cruise ship.

It’s a Cunard ship, too.
That’ll sting.

In before all the “cruise ships are petri dishes full of disease” by people that have never been on one. 😂

Why do we need to pay thousands to sail on one to find out the hard way about a GI virus problem on a cruise ship?
We can just read all about it on the news, social media, lawyers’ blogs...

“Out of about 2,700 passengers and crew, 135 were sickened on Cunard Line’s Queen Victoria”
Which means 95% were unaffected.

I agree with you. I went once and decided that was more than enough for me.
