One of the first U.S. cruises to resume sailing amid the novel coronavirus pandemic was cut short after a passenger tested positive for COVID-19.

The 63 passengers and crew aboard the UnCruise Adventures' ship were just three days into their Alaskan vacation when they were informed Wednesday the guest had tested positive and they would have to return to port.

"Social distancing was actually a reality aboard our boat," UnCruise Adventures CEO Captain Dan Blanchard told ABC News,"as well as all the standard things you would think of masks, no buffets, plated meals, separated tables. So we felt, and still do feel, that the actual vessel itself and the way that our trips run, provide a very low opportunity for transmission."

This has been a bit of a come to Jesus moment about how easily, even with proper testing, somebody got on board," UnCruise Adventures CEO Captain Dan Blanchard told ABC News."This has been a bit of a come to Jesus moment," Blanchard said,"about how easily even with proper testing, somebody got on board."

COVIDIOTS

How stupid are we?

I’m ashamed to have to resort to this but I have lost my job due to COVID and UI is so backed up I haven’t been approved. If anyone can spare even $5, I have two kids and no income. My cash app is $athastings07. Thank you and God bless.

SHOCKING

But it’s a hoax.

Remember when Fauci said these.
