The victim received medical attention in the ship's infirmary, and the attacker was confined to their cabin and banned from future sailings. Local police and the FBI began an investigation upon the ship's arrival in Norfolk. In a separate incident, an Aida Perlo crew member went overboard off the coast of Kent in the United Kingdom.
