Royal Caribbean Submits Restart Plans
On Friday, Royal Caribbean submitted restarts plan to the CDC.
President Michael Bailey posted on Facebook, in part: “Yesterday Royal Caribbean submitted the first of several port/health plans to the CDC which are required to receive approval for the simulated voyages which are required to precede approval for regular cruises.”
Now, the line waits for CDC approval. Also on Friday, Royal Caribbean Group announced it would be sailing three ships to Alaska this year: Serenade of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, and Celebrity Summit.
Serenade of the Seas was in Miami on Sunday to vaccinate over 200 crew members.
