They have pain in the stomach. Doctors look for the cause now. Maybe a virus is the reason. It is maybe the Noro-Virus. Experts test the blood in a hospital. Most guests come from Great Britain or Ireland. The ship started in Scotland. It visited Belfast and Liverpool. The ship team cleans everything very well. All trips in Bordeaux are over.
