Cruise cut short after 600 sickened: Joan Milburn pd. 1

A 10 day royal Caribbean Cruise( what is supposed to provide a luxurious vacation) is actually being cut 2 days short due to a string of gastrointestinal issues. Over 600 passengers and staff members have been sickened. Crew members themselves reported vomiting and diarrhea
.
Response:
Well I am sorry for all the people that must be having a sucky vacation because I know if I was having violent illness I wouldn't really be able to enjoy myself. I am questioning what went down on the cruise ship to actually make such a staggering amount of people suck because people just don't all get the same thing(especially 600)

  1. That sounds horrible! I feel so bad for the people that had their vacations ruined! Hopefully the cruise line will be able to figure out what caused the illness and rectify the situation.

    Oh God, I would've been so upset! I hope they get compensated for the days cut from the cruise. I wonder if it was bad food poisoning...

  3. I actually heard about this on the news and the whole story seemed a little weird to me. It's a little suspicious that so many passengers and crew members would get sick at the same time. I hope that there is an investigation into what caused this mysterious illness and that passengers are compensated and crew members are still paid for the days cut short from the trip.

  4. So strange! It had to have been something in the food to make that many people sick. Hopefully they figure out what happened.
