Princess Cruises ship docks in Texas with ill passengers aboard

Dozens of passengers who fell ill on a Princess Cruises ship arrived in Houston a day early on Friday and were met by U.S. health officials investigating the second outbreak of a stomach illness on a cruise ship in a week. The seven-day cruise was cut short by reports of fog in Houston at around the time of its planned arrival, the company said. About 175 passengers and crew on the Caribbean Princess were affected, and the ship, with more than 4,000 on board, will be sanitized before its next scheduled departure on February 1, said the cruise line, owned by Carnival Corp. Some passengers were skeptical, saying the ship docked early to head off a health crisis. "I wanted to get out," passenger Robert Fisher told Houston broadcaster KTRK.
