CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Another cruise ship, by the way, is returning to port this morning with a lot of sick passengers. Carnival Cruise Lines' Fascination is the latest ship to be swept by a wave of upset stomachs.
Nichelle King of our affiliate WSVN joins us live from the Port of Miami where the Fascination is docking.
Has it docked yet?
NICHELLE KING, WSVN MIAMI, FLORIDA: Yes, it has.
Good morning to you, Carol.
The Fascination has docked right here behind me here at the Port of Miami. I want to make sure you know which ship is which. There are two ships in tandem there. The one in front is the Fascination. That ship sailed here into port at a little bit before 5:00 this morning. And police tell us on board there are about 100 sick passengers, but right now it's too soon to tell whether they have a Norwalk-like virus. But if they do, this would be the fourth ship in less than one week to make its passengers sick here at sea.
Now the Fascination has rolled right back here into port, but you also may know about the Amsterdam. The Amsterdam took 10 days off at sea and has been sitting in the Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale after making 500 of its passengers over the course of four of its cruises sick. Now the Amsterdam stayed in port. It was scrubbed down, cleaned up over the course of 10 days so that it could go back out to sea just yesterday.
Now this ship here behind me, the Fascination, it's scheduled to turn around, go back out to sea later on today to Key West and Kogno (ph), that is barring whether Carnival decides to leave this ship in port, undergo a de-sanitizing and disinfectant cleaning.
Live in Miami, Nichelle King, Seven News (ph).
COSTELLO: All right, Nichelle, thanks very much.
