New Orleans- A stomach virus has stricken people on a third US cruise ship.
Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Sea left a couple of hours late on Saturday because of the illnesses.
About 200 passengers became ill. Norovirus causes vomiting and diarrhoea.
Earlier in the weekend, a pair of Princess Cruise Line ships sailing from Fort Lauderdale reported outbreaks of illness. They were delayed in departing on their next trips while they were disinfected.- Sapa-AP
