This is for crew only and doesn’t mean anything for when cruising resumes.  There will possibly be an entirely different set of protocols.

 

I agree.

I thought I would add this to this forum as info as it does pertain to cruises. 

There is so much more junk,  personal conversations back and forth,  political, etc.

Are we to post only things related to 'when cruises are to resume?'

No, it is fine to post the link, but when you say "this may add to when", that indicates you think this applies to when cruising will restart.

I don't know where that last statement came from. I didn't notice it. 

I posted another topic and that statement came up again. I caught it that time. 

Happy CRUISING! Whenever?

This may add to when. 

Thank you very much for posting this.  I found it interesting and especially the link in the article to the table of cruise ships.   This gives some information of how the ships are graded now.  Good article.

I interpret that that as taking on paying passengers but I don't think I have that right.

No, this is strictly for crew. When the last column had No, cruiselines were supposed to provide a charter or some other non-commercial means for any crew that wanted to disembark in the US - with a Yes, the crew can take commercial transportation to/from their home location.

These kind of things go over better in Cruise News. Back in the day the mods would have moved it there. It's not specific to Royal Caribbean 😉

All of the ships (from all lines) on the CDC site are now green, except Grandeur.

 

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/crew-disembarkations-commercial-travel.html

 

For context, the CDC doesn't list any crew transfers via the US since early August and they have not bothered to update that portion of the web site in a month.

Not sure what's going on but some of the ships seem to be going backwards - Indy is now Yellow, X Summit dropped all the way to Red!

I would suspect that the ships have developed covid cases among the crew.  Not sure if RCG has been shuttling new crew in, and doing ship to ship transports, but that is my guess.  A red status can also be triggered by a failure to submit one or more of the weekly EDC (enhanced data collection) forms, listing crew temperatures and symptoms.

I assume the issue on the RCI ships last week must have been paperwork as they are all back to green this week, though two X ships are red.
