Celebrity recovering from norovirus
The Celebrity Summit returned to Bayonne, NJ, on Saturday morning, with more than 300 passengers suffering a gastro-intestinal illness thought to be norovirus.
Celebrity said 311 of 2,113 passengers and 14 of 954 crew members became ill, but responded well to treatment administered on board.
Celebrity now is working with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to sanitize the ship and the terminal.
The cruise line says any guests wishing to reschedule have been allowed to do so.
The Summit departed Cape Liberty in Bayonne on Sept. 21 for a two-week cruise of Canada and New England.
Norovirus can be transmitted from person to person or through contaminated food or water.
Meanwhile, Celebrity announced that its Caribbean Christmas cruises will offer "Finalists at Sea," featuring finalists of past seasons of the popular television show American Idol.
