A French official says about 60 crew members on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship have been diagnosed with swine flu and confined to their cabins while the ship is in a French port. Alpes-Maritime regional spokeswoman Geraldine Soulier says another 70 ship employees are showing symptoms.

First norovirus, and now this.... with all the reports of rapid and unpredictable mutation WRT H1N1, what's next....?

Well if I am going to quarantine because I have the swine flu I would prefer to be in a Caribbean cruise ship off France.

What a way to get sick.

Yeah, marg, I never thought of it that way. I guess there are worse places to be!

Still though, the cruise ship arena already has issues with norovirus, and now this. Can't help but think there is larger issues here...

I guess the swine flu has been confirmed, usually when people get sick in big groups like that in confined places like a ship is by food poisoning.

I wonder.
