And so it was just like another day at sea.

And then that's when the big hammer dropped.

It was that night at dinner because during dinner, they announced that they had found 10 people that tested positive.

And that's the point at which the

Japanese Ministry of Health said, okay, no one's getting off the ship and you're going to stay quarantined on the ship for 14 days.

These dining rooms are massive and there's hundreds of people in them and noisy, busy environment.

But when this was announced, all that just stopped.

It was a dead quiet and there were a few gasps and everyone just looking at each other.

I said, are you kidding me?

And that was the big moment.

We've been interacting and, you know, sleeping next to each other and sharing spoons and straws and whatever.

I mean, we were not practicing any social distancing at all.

No, didn't even know the term, no.

But then, just after the plane took off... They found out that about a dozen people became symptomatic.

And they took everyone who was showing symptoms and they sat them in a little screened-off area.

It was just a curtain between them and everyone else.

And they were just disgusting.

They just reeked.

And, I mean, you can imagine the full...

I did have to use it once and it was one of the most disgusting experiences of my life and they were just oh because they're like filled up to just like six inches below you you know it's not like it's like something going to jump up and grab you and anyway and the people in the back you can smell it from the back there's people throwing up from the smell yeah that was that was just awful
