What are those lessons? And did US authorities prepare for the next ship?

Letting them actually dock probably wasn’t a mistake. What is the alternative - a Westerdam odyssey?

Leaving the pax on the ship with the crew wandering around probably was a bad idea. Not sure whether it’s clear yet whether the ship’s HVAC was a factor.
