TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — About 230 people aboard a cruise ship fell ill with a gastrointestinal illness while on a Caribbean voyage, forcing the trip to end early.
About 200 of the 1,220 passengers aboard the Holland America ship Veendam got sick on the voyage, which ended Friday evening in Tampa, about 13 hours early.
About 30 of the ship's 572 crew members also became sick.
Sick passengers were quarantined to their rooms while crew members scrubbed banisters, elevator knobs and other areas to eliminate the virus.
