Ruby Princess Battles New Illness Cases on Sailing Right After Outbreak
Six crewmembers and one passenger are isolating as Princess Cruises continues enhanced sanitation after a 125-case outbreak on the previous sailing.
- Seven new gastrointestinal illness cases are now reported aboard Ruby Princess following a delayed departure from San Francisco on July 2, with all affected individuals following isolation protocols on Sunday, July 5, 2026.
- Cruise Hive reported the ship's previous cruise impacted 125 individuals, of whom 102 were guests and 23 were crew members; these new cases follow that larger outbreak.
- Calculated against the 3,080 guests and 1,100 crew members onboard, the current cases equal approximately 0.17% of those present, remaining well below the 3% threshold required for CDC reporting.
- Princess Cruises continues sanitation protocols to minimize further spread, though the ship visited Sitka on July 5 and Haines on July 6 as originally planned, with no itinerary changes.
- Consecutive outbreaks on multiple sailings are not unusual for cruise ships; the CDC notes about 2,500 reported norovirus outbreaks occur annually in the United States.
