Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The video covers several major updates within the cruise industry, focusing on Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, and Princess Cruises. Royal Caribbean is actively vaccinating crew members at the Port of Miami and implementing rigorous testing and quarantine protocols for new employees from India. The company is also constructing a new hundred million dollar terminal in Galveston, Texas, designed to accommodate Oasis class ships using facial recognition and mobile check-in technology.

Creator's Key Takeaways
We're perplexed. We're flabbergasted. We're outraged. It's preposterous.
At the end of the day, cruise ships have motors, propellers, and rudders, and god forbid we can't operate in the state of Florida for whatever reason. we can operate from the Caribbean for ships that otherwise would have gone to Florida.
Even though everyone on board would be vaccinated, in between bites of your meal and in between sips of your drink, you will have to put your mask back on.
It's ridiculous. They are expecting you to finish one course and then put your mask back on. I mean, everybody on board is vaccinated. It makes no sense.
