I don’t a know why a cruise starting country and supposed to end in a foreign country needs to stop in our country, with all that sickness....
All other ports are closed to cruise ships. We live in the U.S.A and in spite of all the badmouthing liberals do, we still help people in need.
And note to Oliver Stone, Bernie Sanders, Danny Glover, and all the democratic socialists (aka communists), the worker’s paradise that is Venezuela doesn’t seem to be offering to help, only the repressive USA.

Somewhat misleading article. Holland sold this cruise as a roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale around South America to Fort Lauderdale. It also sold segments of this cruise, ie, Fort lauderdale to Rio, etc.
Because they want to be sure that AMERICA gets a really good dose of the chicom war tool by delivery.
I agree. Start it in a foreign country -- end it there!
...and a foreign-flagged vessel to boot...
If it’s the itinerary we were on, it’s round-trip Fort Lauderdale.

MIAMI, Fla. - The U.S. Coast Guard is working to evacuate multiple crew members aboard Costa Magica and Costa Favolosa that have respiratory symptoms consistent with pneumonia and bronchitis.
After consulting with the ship's doctors, local, state, and federal health officials, 13 crew members between both ships may need to be evacuated and taken ashore, according to the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Sector Miami, issued an order to both ships to remain three miles offshore and to refrain from any personnel transfer operations while Unified Command works to get sick crew members onshore.
The cruise ships will be taking crew members ashore with small boats, according to the Coast Guard. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue will help take sick patients to local hospitals.
