The Zaandam and Rotterdam should be off the coast of Port Everglades late Wednesday or early Thursday.

I listened to PresTrumps virus update and got the impression he was leaning toward a "humanitarian solution" of the Zaandam's problem. -Tom

We should assist American citizens at minimum. We are evacuating citizens from the rest of the world so this should be no different.

Why did this cruise ever start. They should have canceled the voyage.

The same “leaders” who are whining and without solution allowed thousands upon thousands of Spring Breakers to frolic on Florida beaches for weeks on end spreading the virus all over the place.

well, here’s the thing, those are ALL ships registered in foreign countries and almost their entire staffs are foreigners, so everyone who took trips on these things ignored the dangers of riding on foreign ships in favor of getting cheaper rides because those ships have to meet ZERO U.S. safety regulations, which is why they registered in foreign countries to start with ...

I barely remember it, but there was a made-for-TV movie decades ago...

A plague of African origin breaks out on an international airline flight. As passengers keel over one by one, the pilot frantically searches for an airport to land. No one is equipped to treat the virus, so no one will allow them (they are allowed to refuel out on the tarmac, as long as no one opens the door, and they take off immediately). They eventually get permission to debark, but only at the backwater African village where the virus originated!

In this spirit, I nominate the harbor at NYC. They like international tourists and already got the virus, so why not?

They should try Cuba. If that doesn’t work the captain could try Antwerp. They might need to re-name it the M.S. St. Louis first.

Yep - He wants to do the right thing...just working out the details of controlling it so no new cases get transmitted on our shores.

I’M READY TO SCREAM: I read that President Trump is considering (or thinking about) allowing the Holland America Zaandam to dock in Ft. Lauderdale. I really hope that he rethinks this thoroughly. Yes, let the Americans out, but since the ship is registered to the Netherlands, call the Schlub Dutch King Willem and Prime Minister Rutte, TELL THEM THAT THEIR SHIP WILL DOCK IN ANY OF THEIR NETHERLANDS CARIBBEAN ISLANDS - Curacao, Aruba or St. Maarteen, have the Dutch Military step in with medical assistance and be DONE WITH IT!! I’m sick & tired of these European globalists blaming Trump for everything but then expecting him to carry the heavy load. NO! NO! NO!

These ships can drop off the Americans and take the foreigners back to their countries. It's the least these floating petri dish can do...

YES TO AMERICANS GETTING OFF THE SHIP... NO TO THE FOREIGNERS... THE SHIP CAN SAIL THEM HOME. Back to where they live... which is NOT Florida...
