Norwegian Cruise Line made us stay inside our cabin for four days! Is this legal?

Norwegian Cruise Line just forced a triple-vaccinated husband and wife to stay inside their cabin without reprieve for four days. And when the ship finally returned to New York, two burly NCL crew members inexplicably continued to prevent the couple’s escape. How is this possible? That’s what the bewildered COVID-negative duo wants to know.

Kelly Cotto and her husband had never taken a cruise before last week’s bizarre experience. But after what they endured aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Gem, they likely never will again.

Unfortunately, the next day, the fun and excitement came to a screeching halt with a phone call from guest services.

That’s when Norwegian informed the shocked couple they would need to stay inside their cabin for the rest of the cruise.

NCL: “Thank you in advance for staying inside your stateroom for the remainder of the cruise.” Cotto says she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. The crew member told her that the cruise line had determined that the couple had encountered someone with COVID since boarding the Gem. As a result, the husband and wife would be spending the rest of their cruise confined to their cabin.

No casino, no fine dining, no shows or socializing – and no Bermuda.

Anyone going on a cruise gets what they deserve at this point. :P

Did they leave a playe with crackers in front of their door.

I hope they had an outside room. An inside, budget, windowless room would be worse than jail.

At some point, you have to recognize that continuing to do business with these people is bringing this sort of thing on yourself.

Note to self....

Pack plenty of Viagra, wet wipes, Barry White music, and fresh sheets when going on a cruise.

I did notice the female captain. Not the norm.

Glad our cruises were done when the earth was civilized. Anyone taking one now is playing Fauci roulette.

Fauci roulette is akin to the other roulette, except in this cases all six chambers are loaded.

Which Love Boat episode was this from? Oh, wait. Real life.

My favorite was where a shy nerdy guy (was it Arte Johnson?)
tried to hide his adult store inflatable woman but then someone barged in and the doll flew around the cabin from deflating air pressure.

Yeah, taking a cruise at this point in history is #2 on my vacation list, right after visiting North Korea to steal a flag souvenir.

False imprisonment under the color of law seems to be the elephant in the room that the entire legal establishment has pretended hasn’t existed for two years.

“Anyone going on a cruise gets what they deserve at this point. :P”

Came here to say the EXACT same thing. No one in their right mind thinks, “Covid Derangement Syndrome is running rampant. I think I want to be crammed onto a boat with a bunch of people for a week or two and see what happens when one of them comes down with the Coof.”

“False imprisonment “

The article explains that even in port, the captain can do whatever.

This couple, all the couples on this ship, and the world need to know what is bubbling behind the scenes.

The ship “Gem” is out there right now and NOBODY IS TELL the passengers WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

Get rid of the non-public nature of CDC and ship decisions.
