About “Hell of a Cruise”

In January 2020, Carnival Cruise Line’s Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined at sea after a passenger tested positive for the virus, before many people knew what it even was. The documentary, directed by Nick Quested, follows the “two-week, claustrophobic nightmare” that took place while the boat was docked in Yokohama, Japan. The film also asks why Carnival allowed more ships to take off following the Diamond Princess’ medical emergency.
