In March the cruise industry came to an abrupt halt. The World Health Organization declared coronavirus a global pandemic. Cruise lines are legally mandated to run test cruises before they are allowed to officially set sail again. The company's president said Royal Caribbean has already signed up 100,000 willing volunteers. Last week, the first cruise to sail the Caribbean in months was forced to return to port amid a coronavirus outbreak among passengers.

The first major cruise in the Caribbean set sail this week. SeaDream Yacht Club's SeaDream 1 set sail despite many warnings against doing so. They used strict pre-departure coronavirus testing guidelines. Even still, five passengers aboard the ship have now tested positive for coronavirus.
