Maybe Some Good News For Cruise Ships Finally
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides updates regarding several cruise ships facing travel disruptions and health concerns. Regarding the Holland America Wester Dam, the creator explains that the ship is currently sailing between the Philippines and Japan after being denied entry at multiple ports following a decision to pick up passengers in Hong Kong. While there are no confirmed cases of sickness on board, the ship is currently at sea, though passengers may have been granted permission to disembark at a port next week. The creator notes that Holland America is now offering full refunds and future cruise credits to those on board. The video also touches on the Diamond Princess in Japan, noting a rise in cases but reporting that passengers feel well treated by the crew. Finally, the creator discusses the Anthem of the Seas in New York, which has faced delays due to testing backlogs. Royal Caribbean has revised the ship's itinerary to Bermuda and implemented a new refund policy where passengers who do not show up for their cruise will receive an automatic refund. The creator concludes by advising travelers to be proactive when booking hotels during travel disruptions rather than relying on cruise lines.
