Cruise ship staff being “held captive” on a quarantined vessel off the US coast are starting to beg to be arrested after almost 50 days locked down at sea.

Staff remained on-board at the time because operations were expected to resume following a 30-day halt imposed on the cruise industry to combat the coronavirus pandemic.
