'Holiday' Unexpectedly Returns To Port

Carnival's Holiday Cruise Ship can't seem to catch a break. Less than 3 weeks after 145 passengers and crew members came down with a gastrointestinal illness, Holiday unexpectedly returned to Mobile over the weekend.
A Carnival Cruise Lines spokesperson based in Miami said the Holiday returned briefly Sunday because of a medical emergency, but would not elaborate.
Holiday left Mobile Saturday afternoon on a 5-day cruise to Mexico. The ship turned around 1:30 Sunday morning because of the medical emergency. According to the cruise line's policy, if a passenger has a medical emergency, the crew decides where to dock. In this case, the crew decided it was easiest to return to Mobile.
Carnival says the the ship was evacuated while the passenger was taken off. Once things were cleared, the remaining passengers got back on and headed to Mexico.
