Milena Basso and her husband Gaetano Cerullo are trapped on the quarantined Diamond Princess off the coast of Japan, with at least 64 cases of the killer virus confirmed on board.
The couple said the situation on the ship is “desperate” with food and water running out and the disease spreading through the 2,000 trapped passengers.
New cases are being confirmed every day, and the American newlyweds say they still have two weeks to wait before they can leave.
Cerullo told Fox News: “We are kind of worried because we've still got two weeks on here assuming that works out in our favor and we still have to get onto American soil.
“And, if Donald Trump could help us in any way...”

Star-crossed lovers trapped on a ship of fools...
Nope, sorry
Five Important Don’ts (try to remember at least one of them):
1. Don’t take a cruise
2. Don’t take a cruise
3. Don’t take a cruise
4. Don’t take a cruise
5. Don’t take a cruise, ever
Americans are starting to learn how to cut through the bureaucracy
To be fair, they didn’t think coronavirus was going be an issue when they went to honeymoon.
Yeah. Sorry.
Japanese aren’t going to let them starve.
I know there were a couple of sparse meals.
But I have a hard time believing that Japan can’t get food and water to them.
The risks of them getting disease from remaining on the boat vs the risk of spreading the disease by removing them prior to the quarantine period must be weighed.
And the quarantine period keeps getting extended everytime there are new cases on the ship. 3 more today bringing total to 64.
To be fair to me and my post:
I would have posted my 5 Don’ts one year ago.
I would have posted my 5 Don’ts ten years ago.
I would have posted my 5 Don’ts twenty years ago.
Their wedding vows said for better or for worse. The’re getting the worst out of the way.
are they Americans??
Cruise ships are little more than floating petri dishes.
nevermind!
I have never been on a cruise. I wonder if it hurts the industry in a big way.
I bet cruise cancellations are at an all-time high.
I can’t see how leaving everyone on that ship is a good idea. They need a make shift hospital setup otherwise everyone on that ship is going to be exposed. Tough situation.
Try the Love Boat. If you’ve seen the show...
Sounds to me like a Trump hater suffering TDS trying to generate bad PR for POTUS. They should stay in their room save some food and water and do what newlyweds are supposed to do. Of course I have not seen a picture of his new wife??
Might as well add “do not leave your house” to your list.
Hey Skippy why aren’t the 2,000+ passengers whining and crying like you two are? Du’oh don’t take a long boat cruise if you don’t being stuck on a ship. Suck it up and make the best of it on the cruise liners dime now.
