Norovirus Hits Ruby Princess Cruise | Vancouver News

Norovirus hit the Ruby Princess cruise ship hard—over 120 people, including passengers and crew, fell ill with vomiting and diarrhea during its Alaska-bound voyage. Reported on June 28th, the outbreak affected 3% of passengers and 2% of crew, triggering a Vessel Sanitation Program alert. The ship docked in Prince Rupert before returning to San Francisco. Princess Cruises responded quickly with enhanced cleaning and a deep disinfection before its next trip, which also stops in Prince Rupert. This isn’t the first norovirus scare this year—or for Princess Cruises, who’s already faced two other outbreaks this year. Norovirus spreads fast, but most recover in days—though not without misery.
