A Royal Caribbean company cruise ship returned to Florida on Saturday after hundreds of passengers contracted a gastrointestinal illness, reported CNN.

During the five-night cruise, 332 cases of the illness were reported, Owen Torres, a spokesman for Royal Caribbean told CNN in a statement.

But he stressed that it was a small percentage of the more than 5,000 passengers and crew onboard the Independence of the Seas, one of the world’s largest cruise ships.

It is not known what caused the illness.

Torres added that the company is “taking steps like intensive sanitary procedures to minimize the risk of any further issues.”
