According to multiple media reports, a 300-person cruise ship owned by the Church of Scientology has been quarantined in St. Lucia after a crewmember was confirmed to have measles.
The crewmember is in stable condition and is isolated on the ship, under the care of the ship’s doctor, according to the chief medical officer of St. Lucia, who also said in a statement that it is “likely that other persons on the boat may have been exposed.”
The 440 ft cruise ship in question is called The Freewinds, and is described on the Church of Scientology’s website as the location of “a religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counseling in the Scientology religion” and a “distraction-free environment” where a Scientologist can “devote himself entirely to his religious practice.”
