Grandeur of the Seas, the Royal Caribbean Ship Possibly Plagued by Norovirus, is Back at Sea
Being trapped in a confined space surrounded by people who are visibly, audibly, and at times olfactibly sick with a highly contagious gastrointestinal illness is a miserable experience. It is this experience that Royal Caribbean passengers over the last two weeks called their cruise vacation.
