COVID-Stricken Cruise Passengers Say They Were Told It Was ‘Safest Place to Be’

A cruise ship just returned to Miami after a COVID-19 outbreak on board. It was a disturbing echo from the terrible early days of the pandemic in 2020 when 48 passengers aboard the world's largest cruise ship tested positive. Inside Edition spoke with two passengers who got sick on the trip. “The cruise line really sold us that they were the safest place to be right now, safer than on land,” Alicia D’Amico told Inside Edition. But despite the cruise line’s promises, they contracted COVID-19.
