Editorial Summary

The creator reports on the rising number of COVID-19 cases aboard cruise ships, specifically noting seven positive cases on the Celebrity Edge. This includes two workers and five other individuals, some of whom are being quarantined in the ship's infirmary. The video also mentions similar outbreaks on Royal Caribbean ships. Due to these developments, Celebrity has announced that passengers departing from the United States must now present a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of boarding. This change presents logistical and financial challenges for travelers. The creator describes a personal situation where a scheduled test was cancelled, potentially due to the ongoing quarantine situation on board. Furthermore, the creator discusses the complications for passengers on back-to-back cruises, who may now be required to disembark and undergo testing and customs procedures to re-board. The video concludes with the creator expressing uncertainty regarding their own ability to complete testing and travel in time for a flight to Canada, while noting that those who tested positive on the ship have been flown home via private transport.

Creator's Key Takeaways

i was scheduled for tonight at just around 5 30 to get my covid test to fly back well i got a message saying that that was cancelled until tomorrow morning

the testing was all cancelled tonight another reason it could be is because celebrity just announced the same as royal caribbean that all passengers going on their ships from the united states now will need to present themselves a negative kobit test

that sounds a little ridiculous in a way but with the you know 13 cases on two ships in the last couple days i'm sure they're deciding they're not going to take any chances

it has become a very big inconvenience so far at least on the bright side knocking on wood i haven't been one of the people who have caught coved and been delayed
