Editorial Summary

The creator provides an update regarding recent developments for Royal Caribbean crew members based on a new internal newsletter. He explains that the entire fleet of twenty-six ships is now back in service, noting that Rhapsody of the Seas has recently completed its dry dock. A significant change for crew members is the discontinuation of sign on quarantine for those who are fully vaccinated with approved vaccines. Additionally, the creator highlights that the cap on shore leave has been removed, allowing for unlimited free flow shore leave in the majority of ports of call. While these changes have boosted crew morale, he notes that some restrictions remain, such as the requirement for crew members to wear KN95 face masks in most areas of the ship and the necessity of biweekly antigen testing. The video concludes with the creator showing the view from the Ovation of the Seas while docked in Victoria, Canada, and sharing a personal update regarding his attire and haircut as he prepares for his evening shift in the casino.
