The Zandam cruise Ship went on a cruise in early March before the order to stop all cruises was issued. People began to get sick after it deployed.....then port after port refused it to dock forcing Holland Cruise lines to send a second ship to bring supplies and test kits. The Cruise company has then tried to move passengers to the other ship who pass the test while keeping the sick, who have already had 4 die onboard the Zandam.
Florida is struggling to allow the ship to dock there. Not wanting the 174 and rising sick people to deal with. We already know keeping them on a ship is a VERY VERY BAD IDEA............As I've stated on other threads the ventilation will spread the virus.
Take a look.

Hundreds of passengers and crew members from the Zaandam have not stepped on dry land for 15 days as the novel coronavirus prompted authorities around the world to seal borders, implement checkpoints and force people into quarantines. Passengers were asked to keep their rooms dark and leave their drapes closed when they passed through the Panama Canal on Sunday night after days of wrangling with local authorities.
The Zaandam's plans to dock as early as Wednesday in Florida are still up in the air but have already been rebuked by local officials and DeSantis, who says health care resources are stretched too thin. The governor said he has been in contact with the Coast Guard and the White House about diverting the ship.
Broward County officials will meet Tuesday to decide whether to let the ship dock at its Port Everglades cruise ship terminal, where workers who greet passengers were among Florida's first confirmed coronavirus cases.
Dozens on board the Holland America Line ship have reported flu-like symptoms and four people have died, with at least two of the deaths blamed on the coronavirus by Panamanian authorities. The company said eight others have tested positive for COVID-19 but 2,300 passengers and crew members are in good health.
