HONG KONG: Countries could continue to refuse to berth the Westerdam cruise ship carrying 2,257 people, citing unfounded fears of the deadly coronavirus, until conditions on the luxury liner become so dire that it invokes an emergency.
Holland America said in response to questions that it’s working with authorities “to bring our guests into port as quickly as possible”. “They have the legal right to refuse entry as long as the refusal wouldn’t put those on the ship at harm,” said Rodrigue. Like the Westerdam, the Diamond Princess operates under a brand owned by Miami-based cruise giant Carnival.
