A norovirus epidemic afflicted passengers and crew on Princess Cruises’ Coral Princess during its 31-day voyage from Singapore to Los Angeles.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 15 of the 907 crew members and 55 of the 1,822 passengers on board reported feeling sick during the trip.
On October 17, the ship set out on its trans-Pacific journey, and on November 9, the FDA was notified of the epidemic.
According to CruiseMapper, the Coral Princess stopped in Hawaii on November 10 after making eight stops in China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan.
The CDC determined that norovirus was the cause, and vomiting and diarrhea were the most common symptoms.
