A luxury cruise ship hit by a virus which led to "a holiday from hell" for many Britons is setting sail again after having been disinfected
The Sea Princess docked in Southampton a day early on Friday, missing out the intended destination of Lisbon, after 200 passengers caught a vomiting bug. Many of them were disappointed after having been stuck in their cabins for much of the seven-day European tour. A spokeswoman for Princess Cruises parent company Carnival UK said passengers had been told to stay in their cabins to avoid further spread of the illness. The company admitted there had been a smaller outbreak on the last two days of the boat's previous cruise, but it does not believe the two outbreaks are linked.The virus is suspected to be the Norovirus, which is a common cause of stomach bugs and lasts 48 hours.
