From Times Wire Services
More than 250 passengers aboard a cruise ship fell ill with a stomach virus while touring the western Caribbean, cruise line officials said.
About 230 of the 3,465 passengers and 20 of the 1,190 crew members aboard the Mariner of the Seas became sick after the vessel left Port Canaveral on Jan. 16 for a seven-day cruise.
A spokesman for Royal Caribbean International described the illness as “your typical 24-hour stomach virus” and said an ill passenger had brought it on board.
