The Holland America ship Zaandam was originally scheduled to dock in Fort Lauderdale on Apr 7 at the conclusion of a month-long cruise. AFP/Luis AcostaFORT LAUDERDALE: The operator of a coronavirus-stricken cruise ship and its sister vessel has pleaded for a port to allow them to dock, calling for"compassion" and warning that more passengers may die.
After a coronavirus outbreak on board, it was decided to cut the voyage short, and the Zaandam's sister ship, the Rotterdam, was dispatched from San Diego to its aid. "Holland America continues to work on a detailed plan to be submitted to the Port Everglades Unified Command for review," Port Everglades said in a statement."The ships will not be allowed into US waters until the plan is submitted and approved.
He said that as of Monday, 76 passengers and 117 crew members on the Zaandam have influenza-like illness, including eight who have tested positive for COVID-19.
