Cruisin' for a losin'

Another cruise ship, another virus. Reports WESH-TV:

Cruise officials said almost 400 passengers and crew aboard the world's largest cruise ship have been given over-the-counter medication for a virus.

The outbreak struck Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas, which returned Sunday as scheduled to the Port of Miami.

A statement from the Miami-based company said crew members sanitized frequently touched surfaces such as railings, door handles and elevator buttons after the short-lived outbreak began. The cruise line also said that a guest previously exposed to norovirus likely brought it on board Nov. 26.

The Freedom of the Seas carries 4,000 passengers on 15 decks. Am I missing something here? How is spending several thousand bucks for a week or so with 4,000 others people on a floating city a vacation?
