Coronavirus Rampant on Quarantined Carnival Cruise Ship
Passengers aboard a Royal Caribbean (NYSE: RCL) cruise liner quarantined off the coast of Japan are trapped in a living nightmare.
Quarantined since last week, when 10 passengers were discovered to be infected with the virus, Royal Caribbean's Diamond Princess cruise ship has suffered an explosion of infections since being forbidden to offload in -- or leave -- Japan. In a press release last night, Princess Cruises (the Royal Caribbean subsidiary that operates the ship) confirmed that infections aboard the Diamond Princess now number 135, and include affected citizens from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Japan, the Philippines, Ukraine, the UK, and the U.S.
