A year away from civilization, in the middle of the sea, on an ocean liner stocked with every amenity I could want?
What’s the problem?

That's really fukked up.... the not knowing and constant changing of an already bad situation will wreck anybody.
I'm saying. I could see if they were locked up in an prison cell with no daylight even still I aint killing myself. They were literally on the water, had all the food they could want, I'm sure TV and plenty of books. shyt I would've made the best out of that shyt and been chillin.A year away from civilization, in the middle of the sea, on an ocean liner stocked with every amenity I could want?

Neo. The Only. The One.
THE ONE
Yooo the first guy died like D'angelo supposedly died in the Wire. I didn't even know it was possible to die from hanging yourself from a doorknob You would think the mechanics of it wouldn't let it happen because most average sized men are going to be too big for a doorknob to lift them off the floor.
But this is insane that these people weren't allowed to go home. I hope the families get these cruise companies for everything they're worth

From what I'm reading they were only allowed out of their room once or twice a day. Thats practically prison.

put a red dot on your head like a hindu
Cruises are literally my worst nightmare to begin with. To be doing lockdown on one 
fucc all the way outta here
fucc all the way outta here
Of course, muh'fukkas are already up in here saying what's the problem like they've had to experience this shyt.
The confines of a small cabin, by yourself, in the middle of nowhere, out in the ocean, carries an entirely different psychological context, than staying in the comfort of your own home/environment, where you have the perception of what's going on, and the cognizance and control of knowing you can just step outside.

If so they (the cruise lines) took it too far
yal could read a little bit of the article before saying how ain't shyt they are 
these folks caught the front end of the global response. they just went like a normal day at work and next thing they know they're denied entry from every port on the planet, denied simple shyt like leaving their rooms, and hear about how the world is slowly going to shyt around them while getting minimal contact with whatever support system they leaned on
that'll do a lot of people in. shyt, even stateside and at home the suicide rates for this year are likely gonna be outrageous once they're fully accounted for

From that Bloomberg link there's another article that gives a little background.

Cruise companies are allowed to disembark and repatriate people still trapped on ships around the U.S. by private transportation as long as their executives sign an agreement with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that holds the companies accountable for the process. They are refusing to do so.
In conversations with the CDC, cruise company officials have complained that arranging private transportation for disembarking crew is “too expensive,” according to a spokesperson for the agency.
Julia Whitcomb, 24, from Illinois, is one of three American crew members, among 954 total, stuck on the Celebrity Infinity cruise ship, owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. She worked as a singer on the ship. She has spent more than a month confined to a tiny cabin with her boyfriend, a fellow crew member, while the ship floats in and out of U.S. ports.
On Wednesday, as the ship was docked at PortMiami, she was told to pack her bags, say goodbye to her Argentine boyfriend, and check out at the payroll office — she was finally going home. But a few hours later, she got a call from Human Resources telling her that the company’s legal department will not agree to the CDC’s terms, preventing her from getting off, she told the Miami Herald.
