Princess Cruises said earlier this week that a dozen confirmed coronavirus sufferers were on board the Coral Princess.
The virus-hit Coral Princess cruise ship, with two dead and at least a dozen infected passengers on board, docked Saturday in Miami after being turned away from several Latin American ports in a month-long odyssey.
The Bermuda-registered ship, with 1,020 passengers and a crew of 878, arrived in Miami early Saturday after a failed attempt to dock in the port of Fort Lauderdale, 30 miles to the north on the Atlantic coast. Most passengers disembarked on Saturday amid rigid hygienic precautions, though the ill and all crew members remained on board.
The Coral Princess began its journey on March 5, leaving the Chilean port of Santiago on a voyage that was supposed to end in Buenos Aires on March 19.
