COVID-19 Testing For All Passengers and Crew Recommended:
One of the key changes when cruising returns will most likely be the addition of COVID-19 testing.
Included in the report was the plan to implement testing for all passengers and crew.
All passengers joining a ship, regardless of method of travel to the ship should be tested for COVID-19 between 5 days and 24 hours before boarding. Passengers will have to provide proof of the negative test result before boarding. There also could be a secondary test upon arrival implemented.
All crew should be tested for COVID-19 between 5 days and 24 hours prior to leaving their home location to join the ship. Crew must then present proof of a negative test before boarding and quarantine for seven days onboard. At the end of the 7 day quarantine, the crew member would be tested again before starting their duties.
