Hundreds of weary Bahamians, some carrying small bags of belongings and children on their hips, disembarked a cruise ship in south
Florida on Saturday after fleeing the catastrophic devastation left by
Hurricane Dorian.
The evacuees arrived at the Port of Palm Beach after an all-night voyage on the Grand Celebration, a cruise ship operated by Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, which offered free passage to the U.S. to a limited number of Bahamians.
"I feel lost between a rock and a weary line but I guess I will make it through," said Thomas Stubbs soon after he got off the ship.
