Nearly 100 people got sick in a gastrointestinal outbreak on a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship. Among 2,164 guests aboard Radiance of the Seas, 89 reported being ill during its current voyage, along with two crew members, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Their main symptoms were vomiting and diarrhea.
