I’m sure it’s been posted somewhere else in CC world but I didn’t see it on the NCL board

"MSC Cruises representative Luca Biondolillo told CNN that one embarking passenger tested positive at both stages.

 

"In accordance with the protocol, the passenger as well as his traveling party were denied boarding," said Biondolillo.

 

"Additionally, other passengers who had reached the ship with the same van were denied boarding as they were close contacts of the one passenger who tested positive."

 

This response, said Biondolillo, suggests that strict testing is working, successfully weeding out anyone with Covid-19 before they step onto the ship."

 

So there is your first "Return To Cruising" tip. Arrange your own, private transportation to the ship; don't share or use the cruise line's bus.

Brilliant!  You are exactly right.  As more of this type of information becomes available, CC will need to start a post-covid travel tip page.

What I think is even more interesting would be what happened to those people who were denied boarding? Did they just get back on a plane and go home?
