Yokohama Port, Japan (CNN) When American newlyweds Milena Basso and Gaetano Cerullo set out for their honeymoon, it should have been the trip of a lifetime. But as the Wuhan coronavirus spread around the world, sickening more than 28,000 people and killing more than 560, the couple have found themselves quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan for at least two weeks. The Diamond Princess is anchored at Yokohama, near Tokyo, carrying 2,666 passengers, including 428 Americans, and 1,045 crew. Three people from the US are among 20 confirmed cases of the virus on the vessel, according to statements by the cruise company. Basso told CNN that she and her husband just don't know how long that they're going to be marooned on the ship, with thousands of other travelers.
