Cholera suspected – the first cruise passengers began their journey home

Date:

After cholera was declared safe in the port of the East African island of Mauritius, the first passengers left the ship. They began their journey home, which was originally scheduled for Sunday. The cruise ship “Norwegian Dawn” was scheduled to depart again on Tuesday evening.

“On Monday evening the immigration authorities came on board so that the first people could disembark if they wanted to,” said a passenger from Mauritius. But many people are still on board. According to the police, the more than 2,000 passengers who actually wanted to start their cruise to South Africa on Sunday could also start their journey on Tuesday evening. Then the ‘Norwegian Dawn’ would leave again, it was said.

Since Sunday, 3,000 people have been stuck
As reported, about 2,000 passengers and 1,000 crew members had been stuck on board the cruise ship – three kilometers outside Port Louis port – since Sunday due to a suspected cholera outbreak. After several people fell ill with gastrointestinal infections, Mauritius authorities refused to allow the ship to dock in the capital’s port.

Food from country triggers
The signal was finally given on Monday afternoon (see video above): the suspicion of cholera among the approximately fifteen people affected had not been confirmed. Authorities now believe that food consumed during shore leave that did not meet hygiene requirements was the cause.

Passengers criticize crisis management. “That could have been better. We were informed too late and insufficiently,” said a German on Tuesday evening. It only became clear that something was wrong when the ship did not dock in La Réunion as planned.
