26 More Fall Ill on Disney Cruise Ship
Disney officials said 26 more people had contracted a flu-like virus aboard a Disney cruise liner on Friday, raising to 187 the number sickened during the seven-day Caribbean voyage.
Twenty-three passengers and three crew members of the Magic were reported ill with a “Norwalk-like” virus Friday, Disney spokesman Mark Jaronski said.
The ship -- carrying 2,400 passengers and 1,000 crew members -- is scheduled to return today to Port Canaveral.
Disney has canceled the ship’s next cruise, which had been scheduled to depart today. It is the third U.S.-based cruise ship to be pulled from service this year because of illnesses.
