More than 100 people have fallen ill with norovirus on a cruise ship that left Florida last week and is set to return soon, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The Caribbean Princess cruise ship left from Port Everglades on April 28 and will be returning to Port Canaveral in Brevard County on May 11, according to Cruise Mapper.
