DAVIS COUNTY, Utah â A Utah family is reflecting one year after being stuck on a cruise ship with an outbreak of COVID-19.
On February 21, 2020, Monica Achter and her parents boarded the Grand Princess for a journey from San Francisco to Hawaii.
On their way back, they received a note that would send their journey on a strange turn.
âTwo days before we were supposed to get to Ensenada, we got the letter on March 4
th saying there was possible COVID on the ship,â Achter said. âEverybody on the ship just got quiet and somber. You just wondered what was going on.â

It was known as “the Voyage of the Damned,” a dream vacation cruise that turned into a nightmare aboard the Grand Princess. The ship, which was on a 15-day cruise to Hawaii, became ground zero for COVID-19 when the pandemic was just taking shape.
All 2,600 passengers were ordered to stay in their cabins, and food was delivered to each room. Monica Achter was on the cruise with her parents, and spoke to Inside Edition about life on the ship.
“We had nowhere to go. We were definitely prisoners,” Achter said. Achter talks about the experience in her new book, We re All in This Together: Quarantined on the Grand Princess During COVID-19.
