serious outbreaks of cholera<\/a> over the last year, possibly leading to the concern from authorities in Mauritius, an island nation of about 1.2 million people off the east coast of Africa that\u2019s a popular tourist destination. <\/p>\nCruise ships were problematic during the COVID-19 pandemic, with many of them reporting outbreaks of that disease and having to be quarantined at ports.<\/p>\n
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says there\u2019s a cholera epidemic in southern Africa, with a total of around 188,000 cases and 3,000 deaths in eight countries since January 2023.<\/p>\n
Cholera spreads through food or water contaminated with the bacteria that causes it. Health officials were also testing the food onboard the Norwegian Dawn for cholera. Those tests results hadn\u2019t yet come back but authorities said they were satisfied that there was no cholera threat after the water tests were negative.<\/p>\n
There were 2,184 passengers and 1,026 crew members onboard the Norwegian Dawn when it arrived in Mauritius, the ports authority said. Around 2,000 of those passengers were due to disembark in Mauritius and end their cruise and 2,279 new passengers were due to get onboard. <\/p>\n
Everyone leaving the ship would still be screened by health officials, said Dr Bhooshun Ori, the director of health services at the Mauritius ministry of health.<\/p>\n
Norwegian Cruise Line said passengers would now disembark the ship on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 294-meter (964-feet) long Norwegian Dawn has 14 decks, with a casino, a theater and a video game arcade among its facilities. <\/p>\n
A regular cabin starts at around $2,000 per person for a 12-day cruise, according to the company\u2019s website. For $47,000, you can have a 3-bedroom Garden Villa that comes with a private garden, a hot tub, an outdoor dining area and your own butler service.<\/p>\n
