TL;DR

More than 100 passengers and about 23 crew aboard Princess Cruises’ Ruby Princess fell ill with suspected norovirus during a San Francisco–to–Alaska/Canada voyage, triggering a CDC-defined outbreak (3% threshold) and leading the ship to dock for disinfection; the vessel carries 3,032 passengers and 1,144 crew, and ill guests are isolated as sanitation measures proceed; officials note this is the sixth norovirus outbreak on cruise ships this year and stress handwashing to curb spread.
