A cruise ship passenger bound for a fortnight's quarantine on Rottnest Island provides an insight into what life at sea has been like during uncertain times. 

Faye Sibon says despite being unsure what their immediate future holds, she has felt safe and reassured by the cruise company.

But she has been disappointed with communication from the State Government.

"It has been non-existent... the captain is hearing things on the TV just as we have. Mark McGowan hasn't been in touch with the captain as far as we can understand," she said.  

About 200 passengers onboard the Vasco Da Gama from WA will go into isolation on Rottnest Island for 14 days from Sunday, while about 600 other Australians will go to either Rottnest or another hotel to quarantine for two weeks, then return home for another isolation period. 

All Vasco da Gama passengers and crew have been reported to be in good health.
