CRUISE NEWS - NO CRUISES FOR 60 DAYS FOR BAHAMAS PARADISE plus MORE CRUISES NEED TWO DAY TEST
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides several updates regarding the cruise industry in September 2021. A significant portion of the video discusses the industry shift toward two-day testing cycles. Multiple cruise lines, including Carnival, MSC, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, and Celebrity, are adopting this protocol. The host highlights the importance of proctored home testing through companies like Emmed to ensure compliance with cruise line requirements. In positive news, the Royal Caribbean ship Oasis of the Seas is restarting operations with paying passengers after completing test sailings in New Jersey. Conversely, Bahamas Paradise has announced a suspension of its regular cruising operations. The company's ship, the Grand Classica, has been chartered by Entergy to assist in New Orleans by transporting supplies to workers restoring power following Hurricane Ida. This charter could potentially keep the ship away from passenger service for up to 90 days. The host concludes by encouraging viewers to verify testing protocols directly with their cruise lines to avoid surprises during embarkation.
