A second Princess cruise ship held at sea due to a coronavirus alert has been cleared by the CDC to dock in Florida.
The virus link on Regal Princess was tied to sister ship Grand Princess, which remains offshore after 21 confirmed cases were reported.
Regal Princess was not permitted to dock at Port Everglades on Sunday as two crew members had just transferred from the Grand Princess.

"These crew members should not pose any risks to the health and welfare of anyone aboard Regal Princess," the line said in a letter to guests.
That has seemingly proved the case as test results for the two crew results came back negative.
The ship will now dock at Port Everglades early Monday.
The delay led to Sunday’s voyage on Regal Princess being cancelled and all guests booked on that cruise will receive a full refund.
Additionally the weekend sailing of another ship, Royal Princess, was also cancelled.
Princess was taking no chances as that ship has one crew member who also transferred from Grand Princess recently.
Test results for that crew member are pending.
