A cruise ship that's been floating at sea with coronavirus patients aboard for two weeks after being turned away from South American ports has finally been allowed to dock in Florida. The Zaandam and a sister ship sent to help it, the Rotterdam, were given permission to disembark passengers at Port Everglades on Thursday, after days of negotiation with officials who feared it would divert resources from a region with a spike in virus cases. The agreement was reached Thursday among between local, state and federal officials and Carnival, which owns the Zaandam and the Rotterdam. Port Everglades traffic records listed the ships’ arrival as “confirmed.”According to the agreement, about 10 critically ill passengers would be taken to a hospital in Fort Lauderdale. Four passengers have died on board. Of the 1,250 passengers between the two ships, there are 311 Americans. Of those, 52 are Floridians.
