Again the Celebrity Mercury cruise ship, which was plagued by a massive outbreak of stomach illness last week, has been struck by the suspected norovirus.
At least 55 of 1,880 passengers on the current voyage of the Charleston-based Celebrity Mercury have fallen ill according to reports in Charleston’s ‘The Post and Courier’.
The latest voyage began last week Saturday, a day later than scheduled, after the ship went through a thorough cleaning and disinfecting following last week’s outbreak, where at least 419 of 1,830 passengers were hit by the gastrointestinal illness.
