Royal Caribbean International wants volunteers for trial trips amid COVID-19

After the cruise industry was one of the first and hardest hit when COVID-19 hit America, there is at least one cruise line now operating in US ports looking for volunteers to test trips, according to Cruise Industry News.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had extended the coronavirus-related cruise ban until the end of October, but the CDC has now said it is ready to let the ships leave with the right precautions. Royal Caribbean International is more than ready to take advantage of this opportunity.

He wants to organize the tests to meet the requirements of the CDC and is looking for volunteers to do so.

The agency has lifted its sailing ban order, but operators must test health and safety protocols at sea before they can apply for the CDC’s conditional COVID sailing certificate.

The process is time consuming, so US cruise lines have canceled scheduled trips for the rest of the year.
