What was meant to be a dream cruise quickly descended into horror when nearly a dozen family members fell ill with a terrifying new super-flu.

Passengers were struck with high fevers, severe body aches, vomiting and breathing difficulties, leaving many bedridden and requiring oxygen as the illness spread across the ship within hours.

The first to fall ill was two-year-old Norah Doyle, who has childhood asthma. Her father, Michael, rushed her to the ship’s infirmary - but navigating the 15-deck Independence of the Seas turned into a nightmare.

'It took my husband 20 minutes to actually find it,’ her mother, Ellen, who also goes by Ellie, told the Daily Mail.

‘They kept sending us on a wild goose chase - “deck five, no, deck one, oh, deck one is closed… oh, it’s actually open.”’

Ellie, 34, her husband Michael, 41, and their three children, six-year-old Maisie and twins Norah and Porter, were sailing with Ellie’s parents, her four siblings and their children.

The Connecticut family had been celebrating her parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and looking forward to a seven-day cruise to Nassau, San Juan and St Thomas just after Christmas.

The illness, described by doctors as a highly contagious and unusually aggressive strain of influenza, swept through the family within hours. ‘We all went in healthy,’ Ellie said. ‘We all left, like, dying.’
