(WJW) – A gastrointestinal outbreak aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise sickened more than 140 people earlier this month, according to a report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Vessel Sanitation Program.

The illnesses were reported among both passengers and crew members on a voyage of the Navigator of the Seas, which had departed Los Angeles for a round-trip cruise to ports in Mexico on July 4, per the report.

The report indicated that 134 of the 3,914 passengers, and seven of 1,266 crew members, experienced symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps at some point during the cruise.

The full details of the outbreak were reported to the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) on July 11, the same day the ship returned from its voyage.
