A luxury cruise ship has returned to port a day early after 200 passengers were struck down with a vomiting virus. The Sea Princess sailed to Southampton, missing out the intended destination of Lisbon, to allow extra time to disinfect the ship. A 30% refund has been offered to the 2,258 passengers on the seven-day trip, and Princess Cruises said fewer than eight people were still sick. One passenger aboard told the BBC News website it had ruined her holiday.
