A news station in Australia reports that passengers on a Princess cruise ship, the Dawn Princess, from Melbourne to New Zealand, are relieved that their cruise has ended after norovirus has plagued their ship.

The report stated: "It is believed as many as half of the 1800 passengers were forced into quarantine after suffering from vomiting and diarrhea as crews desperately tried to stop the gastro from spreading."

Some passengers reportedly criticized the ship’s operations, saying that the cruise ship should have recruited extra cleaners in New Zealand,
