More than 100 Americans who were on the $4 cruise ship finished nearly a month of quarantine on Monday.
The ship hosted one of the largest outbreaks of the new coronavirus outside China. More than $4. Passengers were kept in their rooms on the ship for two weeks, then about 320 Americans evacuated by the US government had to complete another 14 days of isolation at military bases.
Two American graduate students, Spencer Fehrenbacher and Gordon Christoph, shared their experience and their photos from quarantine on California's Travis Air Force Base. They were released on Monday.
"I can't lie, it's great," Christoph told Business Insider while he was still on the base. "In both quarantines they took care of us, they gave us good food. The weather's been pretty good."
Fehrenbacher said the quarantine on Travis Air Force Base was completely different from his experience on the cruise ship.
"It's night and day," he told Business Insider. "If anything this experience here, being properly quarantined by medical experts, has kind of highlighted the flaws of the quarantine that we were on on the Diamond Princess."
Here's what their quarantine at a US military base was like.
