People are Angry at NEW PROTOCOLS - CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses recent changes to cruise line protocols, specifically focusing on the confusion surrounding Royal Caribbean's current policies. While other major lines such as Carnival, Celebrity, Princess, and Holland America have announced that fully vaccinated passengers do not need to wear masks or social distance, Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas has implemented different rules. On this ship, vaccinated passengers may still be required to wear masks in certain indoor situations. The creator notes that the cruise line is also using wristbands to identify vaccinated passengers and requesting voluntary vaccination documentation to navigate existing bylaws. This approach has led to concerns regarding potential legal battles and customer dissatisfaction, with some viewers expressing intentions to cancel bookings due to these specific requirements. The video also touches upon the upcoming deployment of several new cruise ships, including the Mardi Gras, Odyssey of the Seas, Celebrity Apex, and Scarlet Lady. The creator concludes by questioning the logic behind Royal Caribbean's decision and expressing curiosity about how these protocols will impact future bookings and passenger interest.
