Cruise workers on Holland America's Rotterdam ship say they were forced into a perilous rescue mission of the COVID-19 stricken Zaandam, and now hundreds of crew members are stuck onboard wondering what's next.

When Holland America's MS Zaandam cruise ship was stricken with a coronavirus outbreak onboard, the MS Rotterdam was dispatched to provide aid.

"The new plans were presented to crew and anyone who did not want to assist didn't have to with no repercussions," the Holland America spokesperson said, referring to the decision to bring Zaandam passengers onboard the Rotterdam. Now, Rotterdam crew members — many of whom are still stuck onboard the ships — say they are unhappy with the way that Holland America handled the rescue operation. Three crew members onboard the ship told Business Insider they felt they had been kept in the dark about the Rotterdam's mission, and left feeling unsafe.

Later, on March 26, it was announced that the Rotterdam would also be taking on the Zaandam's still healthy passengers. Rotterdam crew members became concerned, given that the coronavirus has anRoger Frizzell, the chief communications officer for Carnival Corp., said that "the company's goal was to protect guests and crew alike."

For that reason, the memo said, crew members were not "given an option to transfer to the Eurodam" at Puerto Vallarta. One Rotterdam crew member said that they watched as colleagues fell ill in the days after the transfer of passengers. "Nothing was mentioned about where we are going after all the guests disembark," one crew member said.VesselFinder.com
