More Than 200 Passengers Sickened On Cruise Ship

A Royal Caribbean cruise ship is back in a Ft. Lauderdale port because of sick passengers.

The cruise ship, Independence of the Seas, returned Saturday morning after 220 passengers and crew got sick with a stomach virus.  

The ship left December 11th for a five-night Caribbean cruise with more than 5,500 passengers and crew members onboard.

Many of those infected were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea.  

Royal Caribbean says the entire ship is going through an intense cleaning process.  

The same ship is set to leave on another trip later today.
