Cholera is a highly contagious bacterial infection that can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration. It is spread through contaminated food and water, making it a concern on cruise ships where large numbers of people are in close quarters.

Authorities are taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of cholera on the ship, and passengers are being advised to follow strict hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. The situation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
