Holland America hit with lawsuit over deadly COVID-19 outbreak onboard MS Zaandam - Business Insider

Passengers stricken with COVID-19 onboard Holland America's MS Zaandam have filed suit against the cruise line.

The filing from Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP, Tousley Brain Stephens PLLC and Barrett Johnston Martin & Garrison, LLC indicates that the plaintiffs are seeking to make the suit a federal class-action injury lawsuit against both Holland America and its parent company Carnival Corporation.

The Zaandam first cast off from Buenos Aires, Argentina, on March 7. Four days later, the World Health Organization designated the coronavirus a "pandemic." Before its cancellation a little over a week into its itinerary, the cruise included stops in Montevideo, Uruguay, and the Falkland Islands. The ship was slated to conclude its voyage in San Antonio, Chile on March 21.

"As plaintiffs understand the facts, Holland America and Carnival did not take any measures different from their typical preparations for a voyage, and made no COVID-19-specific efforts to prevent or contain contagion at the time of initial embarkation," the statement said.
