# Norovirus on the Caribbean Princess, Port Everglades to Port Canaveral

2026-05-11

The CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program reported a norovirus outbreak on Princess Cruises' Caribbean Princess during an April 28 to May 11, 2026 voyage. By the CDC's final count, 145 of 3,116 passengers and 15 of 1,131 crew reported being ill, mainly with diarrhea and vomiting.

CBS News Miami reported that the ship left Port Everglades on April 28 and was due to end the one-way cruise at Port Canaveral on May 11.

An outbreak alone does not show that a cruise line was careless. A claim usually turns on what the line knew and what it did. Most tickets treat illness like injury, so the same written notice deadline applies.
