Queen Victoria hit by Norovirus!
Posted on December 30, 2007 by Al
Nearly 80 people onboard Cunard’s new £300m luxury liner, the Queen Victoria, have been hit by a sickness bug on her second voyage. A company spokesman said 25 people were still unwell after the Norovirus, which causes vomiting and diarrhoea, struck.
The 2,014 passengers on the 16-day festive trip around the Canary Islands have paid between £1,100 and £24,400.
The Queen Victoria left her home port of Southampton on 21 December and is due back on the 6 January.
As reported earlier sailing superstition holds that the £300 million Queen Victoria was handed a bad omen after a bottle of champagne struck by Camilla, (the Duchess of York) at the luxury cruise liner’s naming ceremony failed to smash.
