Four passengers have died aboard a Holland America cruise ship that is making its way to Port Everglades, the liner announced Friday.

Holland America said “four older guests" died on the Zaandam, but didn’t say whether the new coronavirus was the cause.


Why are people still on cruises right now? I thought they had all been shut down.

The ship has nearly 140 people become sick, including some with respiratory symptoms. On Thursday, several were tested for the coronavirus and two people tested positive. The company didn’t say whether the two who tested positive were among the four passengers who died.

Shouldn't be allowed to disembark. Quarantine in place aboard the ship offshore. If it were't for cruises we probably have 40% fewer cases in this country.

Yeah that's crazy. And if a single person on that boat is allowed to disembark, someone should go to jail over it.

I can't get over the fact that there are people on a cruise ship at this point.

Out of curiosity when the world first stared going nuts over the Wuhan Virus my wife checked the price of a 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise for four with balcony suite on Carnival. The price to go in June (or it may have been July) was like $1,800 total.

They are still ending existing cruises that were going on before this got bad. Holland America has the oldest demographic, and take the longest cruises.
