The Freedom of the Seas, which was carrying about 3 800 passengers and 1 300 crew members, returned Sunday as scheduled to the Port of Miami. It's believed that a passenger previously exposed to the norovirus brought it on board on November 26, Royal Caribbean said.

Last month, about 700 passengers and crew were affected by a norovirus outbreak during a trans-Atlantic cruise by the Carnival Cruise Line's Liberty, the AP reported. – (HealthDayNews)
