The Florida-based Caribbean Princess is cutting its cruise trip short after a gastrointestinal outbreak that sickened more than 370 people—as Princess Cruises grapples with concerns of coronavirus on board a ship in Japan.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Tuesday that about 11 percent of the 3,035 passengers, or 345, have become sickened. About 26 of 1,161 crew members have also been sickened.
