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. Since the first passenger tested positive, the ship has docked in Barbados and is on lockdown. This is the first major cruise to embark in the Caribbean since March, says Business Insider.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave cruise lines a thumbs up for restarting US operations Friday. As per the CDC's newest statement, cruise lines will be able to sail again on November 1st. The allowance of cruises hinges on the ships meeting a strict set of rules provided by the CDC. The cruise line must meet all of the standards before passengers will be allowed aboard. Originally, the CDC planned to halt cruise activity until February of 2021 but the White House overruled it,. According to Business Insider, the current no-sail order expires on October 31.
