Royal Caribbean is consulting with the CDC .CDC officials say they placed an environmental safety officer and an epidemiologist on the ship on Sunday when it reached St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands to investigate the cause of the illnesses. While no official cause has been announced, some media reports say that the CDC suspects the illnesses are the result of a norovirus outbreak.Symptoms of gastroenteritis from norovirus in humans can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramping and sometimes low-grade fevers, chills, headaches, muscle aches and tiredness. The symptoms hit suddenly, and last for about several days. Death is uncommon.Norovirus is extremely contagious, and is found in the stool and vomit of infected people. It is most often spread through unsanitary food preparation.In 2011, a norovirus food poisoning outbreak sickened at least 150 passengers and three crew on the Royal Caribbean “Radiance of the Seas” cruise ship.Photo courtesy of slgckgc via Flickr C.C. by 2.0 Written by: Irvin JacksonSenior Legal Journalist & Contributing EditorIrvin Jackson is a senior investigative reporter at AboutLawsuits.com with more than 30 years of experience covering mass tort litigation, environmental policy, and consumer safety.
