Editorial Summary

The creator provides an investigative report regarding the consistency of protocol enforcement on cruise ships following the industry restart. Based on observations from five separate cruises, the host identifies several rules that cruise lines strictly enforce through crew members. These include hand washing at buffets, masking in required areas, and the regulation of vaccinated only zones such as specific bars, casinos, or excursion groups. Additionally, the creator notes that seating arrangements in cafes and theaters are heavily policed to maintain social distancing. However, the report highlights areas where enforcement is inconsistent or non-existent. Social distancing in queue lines and venue capacity limits are described as being enforced only about fifty percent of the time. Most notably, the creator observes that elevator capacity limits are almost never enforced by staff, despite visible signage. The video concludes by suggesting that while some rules are strictly managed by crew members acting as enforcers, others may rely on passengers to self-enforce.
