Neither graphic reports of the horrors experienced by some in State quarantine nor Prime Minister Andrew Holness' explanation that there is simply nowhere to house them, have dampened stranded Disney Fantasy crew members' pleas to be allowed to come home.
“There is nowhere like home,”one crew member told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.
The rules, first outlined in March then later amended in April, stipulate that cruise lines would only be allowed to let off crew in US territories if they agreed that they do not use public transportation, do not mix with the public on the way home, and do not stay at hotels being used by the general public.
Disney Fantasy crew members have been intently watching all of this as their ship sails to various countries to allow other colleagues to disembark.
We would adhere to two unannounced visits to our house daily and we are willing to sign [documents indicating] that all information given is factual, including health status and home address,” one crew member told the Sunday Observer yesterday, making the case for a return home.
