SAN DIEGO (AP) — Federal health officials say about 200 people have come down with vomiting and diarrhea aboard two San Diego-bound cruise ships.

The Centers for Disease Control says 112 passengers and crew were sickened by norovirus aboard the Celebrity Infinity, which carried some 2,000 passengers from Fort Lauderdale to San Diego on a trip that passed through the Panama Canal.

Celebrity Cruises, however, put the total at 100 and has said those who fell ill responded to shipboard medication.

The ship arrived in San Diego Monday and will depart for the canal after sanitizing.

3. Isn't it time to end this nonsense?

Of course not. The right of corporations to operate with impunity is becoming entrenched, and if TPP is passed, will become enshrined and legitimated without recourse. That means (in part), in this instance, that cruise lines will continue to dump sewage at sea, and people will continue to become sickened because the lines are not taking precautions because they don't have to.
