Florida couple claim company put profits over safety, had no screening protocols in place. FMTNews GrandPrincess
WASHINGTON: A Florida couple who was aboard the coronavirus-hit Grand Princess ocean liner has sued the ship’s owner for more than US$1 million, claiming the company put profits over safety and did not have proper screening protocols in place.
The Weissbergers said Princess Cruise lacked a proper screening protocol to minimise the risk of passengers’ exposure.Carnival did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The ship has been linked to 12 coronavirus cases from an earlier voyage to Mexico. The Weissbergers, who boarded the ship on Feb. 21 when it departed from San Francisco, were still passengers on the Grand Princess when the lawsuit was filed, according to the complaint.
