Title:	Bad Luck on Cruise Ship as 80 Passengers Fall Ill - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7164970.stm
Description:	Many are blaming the norovirus outbreak aboard the Queen Victoria cruise liner on Prince Charles's wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. When Camilla launched the ship on December 10, she failed to smash the bottle of champagne on the ship's bow, a traditional omen of bad luck. Nearly 80 of the ship's 3,000 passengers were sickened by the virus, which causes stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Those taken ill have been isolated and the crew has stepped up disinfecting in public areas to combat the virus's spread.
