A stomach illness struck dozens of passengers and crew members aboard Carnival's Legend cruise ship, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The ship was on an eight-day Caribbean cruise out of Port Everglades, Fla.

The company said 73 of the ship's 2,378 passengers and four of its 913 crew members were stricken with the illness, thought to be caused by a norovirus, a family of viruses that are among the most common causes of stomach ailments.

Symptoms generally include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, usually lasting one to three days.

The ship returned to port as scheduled Saturday morning and departed Saturday afternoon on its next eight-day cruise.

Carnival had two outbreaks aboard the Holiday last month and one aboard the Regal in August.
