Love boat: Valentine's Day on a quarantine cruisePassengers have been battling isolation, fear and boredom on board. Passenger Matt Smith, 57, was marking Valentine's Day on board with his wife of 21 years, Katherine Codekas, also 57 -- and admitted this was not their first-choice location for the special day. The main course is the French classic Coq au Vin with mashed potato and vegetables, and a "Valentine's Day surprise dessert of the day" is promised. She also posted a drawing by her six-year-old son for Valentine's Day, with the caption "Stay strong, we are with you Diamond Princess." But the coronavirus has also ripped some couples apart for Valentine's Day, including at least one on their honeymoon.
