A Greensboro woman set off on a 16-day cruise and ended up on a ship in lockdown.

Passengers on a Carnival Cruise Ship that docked last Tuesday in Seattle said more than 100 people aboard the ship tested positive for COVID-19, and the ship was overwhelmed.

Kimberly Miles set sail on Carnival’s Spirit cruise ship hoping to see the Central American Coast.

Instead, she’s stuck in isolation at a Seattle hotel after catching COVID-19 during an outbreak onboard.

“My tests show that I was positive, and I couldn’t believe it. You know, I said well, let me make sure. So, I waited another 30 minutes, and I had a second COVID test,” Miles said. “They told me to remain in the room, you know, I would need to be on the isolation, they will be coming to the room to test me to be sure. They gave me another test…and it didn’t even take maybe two minutes, she said that you’re definitely positive.”

She said she was in isolation on the ship for 5 days, but for others, it was longer.
