2-week cruise led to 4-week quarantine for Marysville woman
MARYSVILLE — For Susan Anabel, a 15-day Asian dream cruise turned into a six-week odyssey, thanks to the coronavirus.
The 67-year-old Marysville woman spent almost a month in quarantine after a passenger on the Diamond Princess cruise ship tested positive for what was then a mystery illness in early February.
Anabel was trapped at sea on a cruise ship with 3,700 people, a suitcase of dirty clothes, and no Diet Coke.
To mentally escape from the enforced solitary confinement in her windowless room for 23 hours a day, 4,800 miles from home, she watched reruns of “The Love Boat.”
She was allotted an hour a day to go on the deck with other captives in her room-block for a daily dose of freedom.
“You had to have gloves on and a mask,” Anabel said last week from her Marysville home. “It was really weird, like a zombie movie. Everybody was looking at the ground and walking slowly.”
