Gastrointestinal Illness Outbreak Affects Nearly 140 on Queen Victoria Cruise

The CDC is monitoring the situation as passengers and crew report symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting.

More than 100 passengers and crew members have fallen ill on a three-week leg of the Queen Victoria cruise, according to the CDC.
The outbreak began after the ship departed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on January 22.
Symptoms reported include diarrhea and vomiting, but the cause of the illness remains unknown.
Cunard Cruise Line has implemented increased cleaning and isolation measures in response to the outbreak.
This is the second cruise outbreak reported by the CDC this year, following a norovirus outbreak on a Celebrity Cruises ship last month.
