'A lot of frustrating days for sure': Canadian cruise ship musician finally returns home after months stuck at sea
Rick Pauze, a retired teacher and musician who performs on cruise ships, began his latest contract on Nov. 3, 2019, and was supposed to return home to his wife Dorothy on May 12. But like many seafaring Canadians, Pauze found himself stuck on board and unable to disembark for 71 days after his and other cruise ships were locked down because of COVID-19.
On board the cruise ship, Pauze said his band tried to be helpful as the days of lockdown dragged on.
