Fred Olsen Cruises' ship, the Balmoral, has experienced an outbreak of gastroenteritis, reportedly affecting around 200 passengers. The ship, which can accommodate up to 1,230 passengers, was scheduled to visit Lerwick for the Up-Helly-Aa festival but canceled its visit due to stormy weather forecasts.The outbreak on the Balmoral has led to widespread illness among passengers, with reports indicating that daily announcements were made about increasing cases of gastroenteritis symptoms. The outbreak has sparked concerns, reminiscent of a previous incident involving the Costa Favolosa, where passengers disembarked in Shetland despite a similar outbreak.
The gastroenteritis outbreak on the Balmoral was discovered following reports from passengers who experienced symptoms during the cruise. Initial rumors suggested the illness might have been due to sea sickness, but subsequent confirmations from passengers indicated a significant number of cases.
