FIRST US CRUISE BACK - MSC PROTOCOLS, EMBARKATION and MUSTER PROCESS - CRUISE NEWS

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed account of his experience embarking on the MSC Meraviglia during its return to North American waters from Miami. He describes a three hour embarkation process that included security checkpoints, a health questionnaire, and mandatory COVID testing. The creator notes that passengers must bring a printed health declaration and navigate several queuing lines before reaching the final check-in station. Once on board, he details a muster process that required passengers to return to their staterooms to watch a safety video via a specific television channel and then proceed to muster stations via stairs rather than elevators. The video also highlights the distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated guests, noting that certain venues, such as specific shows, lounges, and the casino, are reserved exclusively for vaccinated passengers. Despite the lengthy embarkation and muster procedures, the creator concludes that the ship is beautiful and that MSC has successfully implemented protocols that allow families to return to cruising.
