As the Diamond Princess cruise ship is quarantined near Japan with more than 200 people testing positive for coronavirus, another Princess ship, the Caribbean Princess, had to cut a trip short after passengers got sick with a different illness, NBC News reported.

In all, 345 passengers and 26 crew members were sickened with gastrointestinal illness, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

WTVJ reported the illness was norovirus.

The trip was supposed to last from Feb. 2 to Feb. 16. Several ports refused entry to the passengers, WTVJ reported.

There are more than 3,000 passengers and 1,100 crew members on the ship, the CDC said.

The ship will be thoroughly sanitized before it heads out for its next voyage on Sunday, according to NBC News and the CDC.
