Ahoy there! Passengers aboard a luxurious Silversea cruise liner were not greeted with outstanding cuisine, but instead found themselves spending their days in the ship's bathrooms due to a pesky gastrointestinal virus, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday.During a 16-day Easter-themed cruise from Callao, Peru, at least 28 passengers and one crew member aboard the Silver Nova fell ill, all suffering from the same unfortunate symptom: diarrhea.The cause of this dreadful outbreak remains a mystery, but the CDC suspects it may be due to contaminated food or water, a common culprit for noroviruses.The Silver Nova, the newest addition to Silversea's fleet, boasts butler service for each suite and promises outstanding gastronomy, even offering personal cooking lessons from a "Top Chef" staffer.Sick passengers were isolated in their quarters, while the crew ramped up cleaning efforts to prevent further spread of the illness.Unfortunately, this incident was not an isolated one, as the Silversea outbreak marked the fourth one this year, with previous outbreaks affecting other cruise liners as well.Despite the unfortunate circumstances, the cruise company emphasized the health and safety of their guests, crew, and the communities they visit as their top priority.
