Holland America plans to disembark around 1,160 passengers from its stranded MS Zaandam and MS Rotterdam cruise ships today., those guests will be shuttled from Port Everglades to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport via bus.
It brought a conclusion to a distressing saga which had seen both ships floating off the Florida coast for dayswithout opening the state up to more infections. Some passengers, however, had booked back-to-back cruises and were due to sail from San Antonio to Fort Lauderdale, for an April 7 arrival. After passengers and crew onboard the Zaandam began falling ill, the Rotterdam was dispatched to provide medical aid and take on healthy passengers.
At the airport, guests will disembark the buses on the tarmac. Holland America has booked charter flights with private jet chartering company Volanteus, using the carrier Eastern Air Lines. Guests cleared to travel to Toronto Pearson International Airport are scheduled to disembark from the ships at 8 a.m.
The 236 or so guests cleared to travel to San Francisco International Airport are supposed to leave the ships at 11 a.m. The buses bearing California-bound travelers are slated to depart for the airport at noon and drop guests off on the airport tarmac at 12:30 p.m. The charter flight — EAL267 — will depart at 1:30 p.m. Non-stop flights from Fort Lauderdale to San Francisco last around six and a half hours.
Ugh how do we know the so called 'healthy passengers' arent infected without a test? If US residents are flown to SF will they be quarantined for 2 weeks before being released?
How tf,,, they said these ships were filled with people who needed to be tested ...
