The Zaandam, a Holland America Line cruise ship, has 42 passengers and crew members on board with ‘influenza-like’ symptoms. (Holland America Line)
Thirteen passengers and 29 crew members have fallen ill with influenza-like symptoms on board a Holland America Line cruise ship currently off the coast of Chile. And Canadians on the ship — which has been searching for a place to dock since March 14 — are desperate to get home.
The ship is carrying 1,829 people: 586 crew and 1,243 passengers, 247 of which are Canadian.

Is there a port they can dock, in Canada?
I heard they were heading to Ft Lauderdale!!
I sure hope DeSantis doesn’t allow that.
It’s important to note this ship left port in Rio on March 7th. Everyone who got on board knew what was happening with cruise ships by then.
It’s hard to have any sympathy for these folks who deliberately put themselves and others at risk.
