Fuming Scots cruise passengers struck down by 'norovirus outbreak' brand ship 'QE-Poo'

A luxury cruise ship has been branded the "QE-Poo" after passengers on board were struck down by a suspected norovirus outbreak.

The ten-day cruise from Rosyth to Germany turned into a nightmare after more than 100 people on board fell ill and are said to be confined to their cabins on the Fred Olsen ship the MV Balmoral. It is understood 1154 people are onboard.

Liz Webster from Falkirk is one of those quarantining on the vessel that left the Firth of Forth on June 22, and told the Record her luxury holiday "ended up being more QE-Poo than QE2".
