Nov. 24--PORT CANAVERAL, Fla.--The flagship of Disney's cruise line set out for sea Saturday night after a stem-to-stern scrubbing by an army of cleaners hoping to eradicate a stomach bug that sickened nearly 300 people during a seven-day cruise.
Disney Magic's departure was delayed about an hour until 6 p.m. to allow a crew of around 1,150 -- including 200 added cleaners -- to sanitize the 2,300-passenger ship, right down to Bibles and doorknobs.
Investigators with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention searched the 964-foot-long vessel for clues to the source of the mystery illness, but they had no immediate answers.
