A cruise ship where at least two passengers died of coronavirus and others were sickened while barred from South American ports has finally docked in Florida.

The Zaandam and a sister ship sent to help it, the Rotterdam, were given permission to unload passengers at Port Everglades on Thursday, after days of negotiations with officials who feared it would divert resources from a region with a spike in virus cases.

The agreement was reached Thursday by local, state and federal officials and Carnival Corp., which owns the Zaandam and the Rotterdam.

Why the hell did these dummies even go on a cruise to begin with? WTH snow they except the government to bail them out. UNREAL

Surprised there was little reporting of the armed Coast Guard ships accompanying them into port .... guess they were expecting people to jump off? Now ... what about the Princess ship that needs to offload too?

WHY are cruises STILL operating?

Why would they go on a cruise in the first place, when they knew this going on? 😐

U.S. Coast Guard directs cruise ships to prepare to treat any sick passengers, crew on boardDozens of cruise ships are either lined up at Port Miami and Port Everglades or waiting offshore due to the coronavirus pandemic I am anticipating that future cruiselines will need to have quarantining capacity available - on board and at docks - so they can manage contagion more effectively. What is wrong with all govts? As early as few weeks ago pandemic was recognized and China was fighting it big time. Why were these cruises and other mass travel, not stopped. Well we see what happens when govt, cruise operators and passengers are idiots.
