Hundreds of Travelers Sickened on Sun Princess Cruise
Nearly 250 passengers aboard the Sun Princess cruise ship traveling from Los Angeles to Hawaii were stricken with a gastrointestinal virus this weekend.

According to CNN.com, the first illness was reported just after the ship left Los Angeles on Jan. 25. A total of 247 travelers were affected by symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Those passengers with symptoms were restricted from taking shore excursions while the ship was sanitized in Honolulu Harbor Saturday.

It is not yet known whether the passengers were suffering from the Norwalk or Norwalk-like virus that affected more than 1,500 cruise ship travelers in recent months.
