I thought this was interesting: One of the ships, the Regal Princess, started it's current trip on March 22...really, on March 22 people got on a cruise ship in Ft. Lauderdale, expecting to spend 14 days visiting a number of Caribbean tourist trap ports-of-call, and get back to Ft. Lauderdale, with no Coronavirus issues? And this was allowed by the Federal and State Governments?

But it gets better. Another ship, the Rotterdam, left Ft. Lauderdale on March 27, planning on visiting 5 ports-of-call...and guess what? They now have a problem. Who could have possibly seen that coming, all of 6 days ago?
So, who wins the Darwin award?

The cruise line for departing?
The authorities for allowing it?
Or the passengers that boarded it?
