Summary

In early 2020, the world was on edge. An ominous virus was spreading on different continents, and no one knew what the coming weeks would bring. Far from the hot spots, the cruise ship Zaandam, owned by Holland America, was preparing to sail from Buenos Aires, loaded with 1,200 passengers and 600 crew. There was concern about the virus on the news, and it had already killed and sickened passengers on other Holland America ships. But that was oceans away, and escaping to sea at the ends of the earth for a few weeks seemed like it might be a good option. 'Cabin Fever' takes readers behind the scenes of the ship's complex workings, and belowdecks into the personal lives of passengers and crew who were caught unprepared for the deadly ordeal that lay ahead.
