More cruise passengers fall victim to virus

? Forty people aboard the Disney cruise liner Magic reported feeling sick Thursday, pushing the number of reported illnesses on the current voyage to 160, Disney officials said.

Disney spokesman Mark Jaronski said 140 guests and 20 crew members had reported feeling sick as of Thursday.

Disney has canceled the Magic’s next scheduled voyage, making it the third U.S.-based cruise ship pulled from service this year because of passenger illnesses.

The Magic, carrying 2,400 guests and about 1,000 crew members, will be cleaned when it returns Saturday to Port Canaveral.

The ship was disinfected last week after about 275 people became sick on its last trip from a Norwalk-like virus.
