“Our primary focus was on taking care of our guests and crew. We have a comprehensive plan that outlines protocols for managing this kind of situation and closely follow CDC guidelines for preventing the spread of common stomach-related illnesses," a Disney spokesperson said.

There is no known cause of what sickened the passengers and five crew members, the CDC said.

The cruise to Nassau, Castaway Cay and Key West was expected to have a CDC Vessel Sanitation Program environmental health officer board the ship when it returned to port on Sunday.
