It was supposed to be a relaxing cruise with plenty of time to read, take in the sights and sip martinis.

But Carolyn Wright's dream vacation to Hawaii on the Grand Princess quickly turned into a nightmare this week after the vessel became stranded off the coast of San Francisco following a COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on board.

"There is definitely options that would work as far as getting us off the ship and into some place where we are not putting other people at risk, and where we're not at risk."Wright said while she and her traveling companion were lucky enough to have a window in their room, many more of the 2,422 passengers on board did not have that luxury.

She said crew members were trying their best to make the wait bearable by providing complimentary internet, movies and even exercise videos.
