(CNN) The Coral Princess cruise ship docked Saturday at Florida's PortMiami with two guests dead and several others ill from Covid-19, officials said, after a weeks-long search for a port that would let its passengers disembark. The Coral Princess' trip was lengthened even though none of the ship's occupants tested positive for the disease until this week. 'It's a stressful time,' daughter says as ill parents remain aboardJulie Maa is worried about her parents, who are aboard the ship and ill. The Coral Princess then asked for permission to disembark passengers at port in Uruguay, where it picked up provisions, March 21, and Brazil, but were denied. Most of the cruise line industry announced a voluntarily suspension of cruise ship operations from US ports of call on March 13, and the CDC issued a "no sail" order on March 14 to all cruise ships that had not voluntarily suspended operations.
