A total of 152 passengers and 25 crew were sick.
The virus spread rapidly with symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and headaches.
In its report, the CDC praised the actions of the ship’s crew in dealing with the outbreak and sick passengers.
There have been several major gastrointestinal outbreaks on cruise ships so far this year.
