    I heard Port Everglades, wherever that is.

    The trouble with the USNS Hospital Ships is that those are 100% designated for OTHER Than COVID-19 patients. If they are being utilized much (and I have no clue), then it'd be wrong (IMHO) to chance contamination by bringing infected patients.

    I used to know all the answers. Now I don't know any, and only 10% of the right questions.

    Yessir, Port Everglades is Ft. Lauderdale. We take probably 95% of our cruises out of there as it's the main port for Holland America down here. As for the hospital ships, I meant BEFORE they were dispatched to New York and L.A. These cruise ships were bouncing from port to port being refused entry long before the hospital ships were dispatched.
