Coral Princess cruise ship riddled with ‘intense’ sickness with 1,800 on board

Passengers and crew aboard Princess Cruises’ Coral Princess were plagued by a norovirus outbreak on its 31-day journey from Singapore to Los Angeles.

Of the 1,822 passengers on board, 55 of them reported being ill during the voyage, as well as 15 of the 907 crew members, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The ship departed for its trans-Pacific voyage on October 17 and the outbreak was reported to the agency on November 9.

Coral Princess made stops eight stops in Thailand, Vietnam, China and Japan before stopping in Hawaii on November 10, according to CruiseMapper.

The CDC ruled the causative agent was norovirus and the predominant symptoms reported were diarrhea and vomiting.

In response to the outbreak Princess Cruises reported to the CDC that they increased cleaning and disinfection procedures according to their outbreak prevention and response plan.

They also collected stool specimens from gastrointestinal illness cases for testing.

Coral Princess arrived in Los Angeles on November 17 to drop off those passengers, then embarked on 16-day journey to Fort Lauderdale that afternoon.
