# Couple Imprisoned in Cabin for Six Days During £5,000 Cruise

## Shocking ordeal leaves passengers confined aboard luxury ship

Anne Parsons and her partner experienced a harrowing six-day confinement in their cabin aboard a cruise ship, which they had booked for £5,000. This incident occurred while they were on a luxury cruise that promised relaxation and enjoyment but instead turned into a nightmare.

Following a misunderstanding regarding a COVID-19 test, the couple found themselves abruptly isolated. Upon arrival on the ship, they were informed that they would be denied access to the rest of the vessel. "I was immediately transferred to my cabin and told: 'You're out of contact with everything. You're not allowed to leave your cabin,'" as detailed in documents reported by The Mirror.

The couple’s attempts to engage with staff about their predicament were met with indifference. They were left without adequate support or entertainment, leading to feelings of distress and frustration. "They just totally rudely locked me away," they recounted, highlighting the lack of communication and concern from the crew.

The confinement lasted until the end of the cruise, leaving the couple feeling trapped during what was meant to be a holiday. Their experience raises significant concerns about the handling of passengers' rights and medical protocols during the ongoing pandemic environment. The situation has sparked outrage among other passengers who were disturbed by the couple's treatment.
