Grand Princess passengers ready to disembark Monday, while health official Anthony Fauci urges, "Just don't get on a cruise ship" to protect elderly.
Grand Princess cruise ship passengers are gearing up to begin the disembarking process Monday after 21 people aboard tested positive for coronavirus.
Princess Cruises announced early Sunday it had been informed by state and local officials that the cruise would be able to dock in the Port of Oakland on Monday, cruise line public relations director Negin Kamali told USA TODAY. “It’ll be different than things now but hopefully it’ll be one step closer to coming home,” passenger Kailee Higgins Ott, 17, of Mountain View, Calif., told USA TODAY. She's worried about missing more school, but notes that her teachers are being accommodating.
Newsom stressed the importance of getting details and logistics in place before confirming specifics. "It's 'ready, aim, fire,' not 'ready, fire, aim,'"he said. Newsom also provided an update on the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in California, which is up to 114, and said 10,257 state residents are getting monitored for signs they might have been infected. Among those are 1,540 from a Grand Princess voyage from San Francisco to Mexico in February. One passenger from that trip died of COVID-19 and another 12 have tested positive.
It is unclear how many people are on board, but it has a capacity of 3,560 guests, according to the cruise line’s website. The Regal Princess’ next cruise scheduled to leave Port Everglades for a seven-day Caribbean trip was also canceled. The cruise line said guests would receive a full refund and offered $300 reimbursement for one night’s hotel costs.
