Grand Princess
Nancy and David Holmes of Spokane have been on more than 50 cruises. Their latest, a 10-day cruise from San Francisco to Hawaii and back, likely will be the most memorable. They've been under quarantine after COVID-19 began circulating on the ship. Now the pair are expecting to be sent to a military facility for further quarantine.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom urged the state's nearly 40 million residents to avoid sporting events, concerts and large gatherings to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and adamantly warned the elderly to stay away from cruise ships as he pondered measures to restrict cruise travel off the California coast.
