More than 80 people on board a Holland America cruise ship that left Florida are sick, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Holland America has reported its fourth norovirus outbreak of 2025 on a cruise out of Port Everglades, with nearly 150 passengers and 10 crew members falling ill.
The latest report marks the eighth gastrointestinal illness outbreak on a cruise ship in just the first two months of the year, the healthy agency said.
A norovirus outbreak was reported on a Holland America Line cruise ship on Sunday, the cruise line's second to be tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this month.
A cruise ship that departed from Florida is dealing with an outbreak of norovirus, leaving passengers and crew members suffering from gastrointestinal illness.
Nearly 90 passengers and crew members aboard a cruise ship that left from Florida have fallen ill with norovirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s Vessel Sanitation Program.
In the TikTok video, Spencer Aronfeld (@cruiseshiplawyer) suggests that Royal Caribbean should have canceled a sailing on Symphony of the Seas after a “horrifying” inspection revealed “numerous food safety and hygiene issues, including improperly stored food, raw eggs not at the correct temperature, and crew members touching ice with open wounds.”
How likely are you to get ill on a cruise as norovirus cases rise? - Some have branded ships as floating petri dishes – but the numbers show this is an unfair accusation
Holland America Line has experienced its third norovirus outbreak of 2025, with nearly 90 people affected on the Eurodam during a 10-day Caribbean cruise, prompting enhanced sanitation and isolation measures.
Eighty-eight people aboard a Holland America cruise ship, the Eurodam, in the Caribbean were sickened in a norovirus outbreak -- the fifth striking the line since early December.
This is the eighth gastrointestinal illness outbreak on cruises to meet the CDC’s threshold for public notification this year.
