Fox reporter at PE says a Commissioner reported that negotiations are over.

Is it a good decision or  is the Gov still denying entry?

Your post could mean anything

Latest figures have 10 critical with 2 of those on ventilators. 

Wonder if any are Floridians??  🙄

It won't be long now. We should have the final "Okay" soon.

my understanding is that negotiating is a done deal and ships can come to port as negotiated.

(my post prior to this one says "an agreement has been reached"!)

The ship sailed out of FL in February but the majority of the current passengers boarded March 6 in SA and that cruise was suppose to ultimately end in FL.

 

Which ship are you referring to?  Not Zaandam

Where was the Zaandam before  Buenos Aires embarkation?

The Zaandam was sailing between Buenos Aires and San Antonio, Chile all winter (their summer).

Tiny correction; Zaandam left FLL on October 16, last year and has been doing fourteen and twenty two-day San Antonio, Chile - Buenos Aires, Arg round trips ever since

On MSNBC they just said that the "paperwork" has not been signed off yet and that the ships will not be entering until that is done.

 

The ships seem to be about 15 miles out at sea.

Just to add some other details. Boytjie, please confirm if this is what you heard.

 

Lawyers are finalizing the last details, but it will be tomorrow before people are disembarked to go to the airport. No word when sick people will be addressed.

[Shaf143]

Marine traffic appears to have them turning inbound!

Yes I read that a few days ago

 

[kevingastreich]

Fox News just confirmed that a deal has been struck.

[DFD1]

I'm waiting for an official announcement, but maybe there will not be one.

Your point?

Sorry, I was posting a response to your post #2128 from 8 minutes ago, where you wondered if any were Floridians.  I must have misunderstood.

Takes a while to get that many transport buses and police (sheriff) escorts together 😉 Still, it's a good sign that things might start happening this afternoon (local time) 

 

But whey do they need to be flashing all their lights already?  Latest info is 4:00 pm for Zaandam, 4:30 for Rotterdam.

 

[Vict0riann]

Plenty of flashing lights.

 

[Travelexpert35]

The webcam just did a close up of those so called flashing lights at the pier. I think it is reflections off of the cars and trucks there. Take a look at the next close up.

Anyone here  who doubts Copper knows not  of what they speak and loses credibility   I Know HE  knows.
