Bartlett said that the passenger who was in 10 cabins from it, died. According to official data, at least one man, 71-year-old man died of the coronavirus last week after a stay in the cruise.
«We probably will go crazy in the cabin, she added. — It’s a bit depressing when we saw land, it was Sunny, and we couldn’t get out.»
