BREAKING CRUISE NEWS: BIG UPDATES FROM CARNIVAL, NCL and ROYAL CARIBBEAN
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides updates regarding the restart of cruising for three major lines: Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, and Royal Caribbean. For Norwegian, the report details a mix of extended vessel suspensions and upcoming restart plans in the Caribbean, Alaska, and the Mediterranean, noting that the Norwegian Joy will no longer use Jamaica as a home port. Regarding Carnival, the creator examines new health protocols that emphasize testing, social distancing, and masking for most sailings. A distinction is made for Alaska cruises, which will require proof of full vaccination and may exclude children who are not eligible for the vaccine. The creator notes that Carnival's testing-heavy approach for standard cruises offers more flexibility for unvaccinated passengers compared to other lines. Finally, the video confirms that the CDC has approved Royal Caribbean's first test cruise on the Freedom of the Seas, scheduled for June 20, 2021, out of Miami. The creator clarifies that the timing of this cruise was requested by the cruise line rather than delayed by federal authorities.
