NEWS: 9 People Fall Sick on Disney Cruise Line's Newest Ship

While you may be hoping that a vacation goes perfectly, the truth is, no matter where you’re vacationing, it’s entirely possible that things may not go as planned. Yes, that includes a Disney theme park or a Disney Cruise Line cruise.

We just recently got back from sailing on the Disney Adventure in Singapore, and while we had an incredible trip exploring all there is to experience on board during the maiden voyage, it seems that there’s some trouble in paradise. On a recent sailing, it’s been reported that nine individuals fell ill on board, prompting an investigation.

According to the International Business Times, nine individuals who were on board between March 16th and March 19th fell sick with symptoms reminiscent of gastroenteritis, and all sought medical attention on either March 19th or 20th. Eight of the individuals were passengers, while one was a crew member.

Gastroenteritis is commonly referred to as the stomach flu, and can often be caused by bacteria such as Salmonella or viruses like Norovirus. As of March 27th, no additional cases have been reported, and all those sick have recovered without the need for hospitalization.

After the reports, the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) launched an investigation into the illnesses, which is still ongoing. While the cases were limited, especially considering the ship can hold up to 6,700 people, the outbreak raised concerns about health and hygiene practices on large ships.
