Creator's Key Takeaways

the healthy sale panel believes the removal of and substitution for self-service buffets during this time will help maintain general distancing guidelines

guests should wear face coverings in any indoor congregate setting regardless of physical distancing measures

the recommendation is that up anywhere between five days and 24 hours before your cruise you need to get a negative test

these are all policies that are only temporary in the short term until covid is no longer a public health emergency

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a PCR test 5 days before your cruise
Wear a mask in indoor congregate settings
Book approved shore excursions initially
Check with your travel insurance provider for covid coverage
