"A reported 94 passengers and 20 crew members have come down with the gastrointestinal illness. That comes out to 3.7% of the 2,500+ passengers on the ship and approximately 1.8% of the 1,066 crew members. Note that these figures are the total number of people impacted during the course of the outbreak, not the number of current cases.
The symptoms reported by the CDC include diarrhea and vomiting."

That's one ship I've never sailed on.
I don't think it's ever been to Port Everglades.
