112 passengers and crew members have been sickened on
Celebrity Infinity and 116
people sick on a second ship, Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas. Of the ship's 2,117 passengers, 106 have suffered
from vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. Celebrity Cruises has been taking
action since the outbreak began, including increasing cleaning and disinfection
procedures, keeping passengers informed and taking specimens from the afflicted
for testing. The cause of the Legend of
the Seas outbreak is unknown. The spread of different viruses and diseases was a bigger deal when there weren't certain vaccines or medications that would help people feel better and heal them.

Outbreaks like this should be prevented. This is usually unheard of, which is why this made the news. I hope they can find the source of the problem and solve it before we have a repeat. -Destiny Ramirez
