Ship of the Damned - Third Cruise of Celebrity Mercury Returns Due to Norovirus
The Celebrity Mercury returned to the Port of Charleston early Thursday to disembark guests.
The cruise liner was struck again with an outbreak of the norovirus and had to return a day earlier than scheduled.
The cruise line says 364 of the vessel's more than 1,800 passengers took ill on a cruise which left March 8.
This was the third consecutive tour where passenger were sickened with the stomach bug. Celebrity says the ship will remain in port through Sunday and extensive cleaning will again be performed.
It is hard to believe that a service based business
would not avail themselves of the latest technology.
I am an RN and in the course of everyday business I have seen information on such products as the new
24x7 infection control Goldshield. If you or I were
in charge we would get the best to make the ship safe
for its passengers. These people obviously do not care at all about the health of their crew or passengers. Maybe the best thing for them is to just go out of business.
