(Pandemic) Day 2 Onboard | Cruise Industry Shutdown

Editorial Summary

Chris, a Royal Caribbean crew member, documents the second day of a thirty day period where cruise operations in the United States are suspended due to the coronavirus. This marks the first day on his ship with no guests on board following their departure. The creator describes the implementation of a full barrier clean, which requires all departments to sanitize every surface, including tables, slot machines, chairs, arcade machines, and handles. The cleaning efforts extend beyond guest areas to include crew corridors and walls. Crew members are also instructed to sanitize their personal cabins and follow strict hygiene protocols, such as showering and changing clothes frequently to avoid cross contamination. Later in the day, the crew undergoes temperature checks at the medical center. Despite the shutdown, some guest restaurants like Johnny Rockets remain open for the crew. The video concludes with the creator eating dinner at a restaurant and observing activities on the ship's boardwalk and AquaTheater.
