The Sun Princess is a luxury cruise ship holding over 5,000 passengers who are now stuck in the ocean and exposed to the raging storms consuming Florida.
Tragically, the charter was supposed to make port today, 9th October, but the hurricane had other ideas. The ship had set off from Barcelona, Spain, on a one-way 25-day trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. However, Port Everglades, where it was supposed to dock, had closed due to the hurricane.
This event left the Sun Princess stranded five miles off the coast of Florida amidst the chaos of Hurricane Milton. Stranded and alone, sick passengers had no choice but to be airlifted from the ship and brought to safety.
