Poor old thing but why do the press always drag this up as well..............

"It is not the first time the Boudicca has been in the news. Last year Fred Olsen paid £280,000 in compensation to 130 holidaymakers who suffered gastric illnesses on board between October 2009 and May 2010.

The ship was also hit in 2013 when 98 passengers contracted a vomiting bug."

Its PASSENGERS that bring the "vomiting bug" on board and spread it around by bad hygiene, then its always the Ship and the Company that gets the blame.
