An Almonte, Ont., couple aboard a quarantined cruise ship now at port in California say all they want is to get home to Canada — even if it means further quarantine. They're two of 237 Canadians aboard the Grand Princess, which docked late Monday morning at Oakland, Calif., after being held off the coast for days. Nineteen crew members and two passengers aboard the ship have so far tested positive for the respiratory illness. Carol Ciavaglia describes what it’s like to be quarantined aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship, which was held off the coast of California for several days before docking in Oakland. John and Assunta Gerretsen, the parents of Kingston and The Islands MP Mark Gerretsen, are also aboard the ship.
