Our Coast Guard says there are 41 Cruise ships close to US waters.

Even if these ships don't have Americans onboard, if the foreign crews get deathly sick , some decisions will have to be made. - tom

The final voyage of the Coral Princess to PortMiami on Saturday

Final?

She'll never sail again?

This is known?

Cruise ships are floating petri dishes. The Chinese Virus is not the first disease to sweep through these ships. Norovirus has been a huge problem on cruise ships for several years.

The cruise ship business has brought in hundreds of millions of dollars and same amount of taxes to Miami and Ft Lauderdale, so they are owed and so are the passengers. Florida can show the world that they can rescue people safely, send them home on flights and enhance Florida’s
reputation.

Florida gets enough razzing over the shenanigans of “Florida Man”. The kind that calls 911 because his Burger King fries were cold.

It’s not like no one has ever died on a cruise ship like the Coral. The Grand lost its 1st crew member a couple days ago.

You can see someone eating a fine dinner all decked out one night.. in the reefer the next few days or until debarkation.

One sad fact is many of those aboard the ships asea .. many are seniors w/ medical conditions (who isn’t these days?).

UPDATE-Miami Herald-Alex Harris and Taylor Dolven Apr5,2020
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/tourism-cruises/article241783336.html

Five people were transferred to hospitals in Miami and Tampa Saturday after the ship docked in Miami with at least 12 cases of COVID-19 on board. A sixth person, Wilson Maa, 71, waited nearly five hours on board the ship Saturday evening before an ambulance responded to his family’s desperate calls to 9-11. He died later that night at Larkin Community Hospital in Hialeah.

He was the third Coral Princess passenger to die after two passed away on the ship Friday evening. On Sunday morning, more families pleaded with the cruise company and local authorities to get their loved ones off the ship and into hospitals.
