It looks like RCL just updated their cancellations yesterday?

SINGAPORE — Cruise line Royal Caribbean International (RCI) has cancelled two sailings over the upcoming Chinese New Year period on its ship Quantum of the Seas due to Covid-19 infections detected on board the ship in its last trip. 

 

In response to queries from TODAY, RCI said it had cancelled the cruise voyages embarking on Monday (Jan 31) and Feb 3.

 

An RCI spokesman said the move was made out of "an abundance of caution", after "less than 0.6 per cent" of the "onboard community" had been found to be infected on the Jan 27 trip.

 

"They were identified during routine weekly testing conducted by the cruise line for the well-being of its guests, crew and Singapore’s community," the spokesman said. 

 

When asked, the cruise line did not elaborate on how many people were onboard the cruise at the time, how many were infected, or if they were passengers or crew. RCI also did not elaborate on how many guests would be affected by the cancellations. 

However, the Singapore Cruise Society website stated in an article on Sunday that the infections involved a "small amount of crew". 

 

This is not the first time cruise sailings have been cancelled due to Covid-19 cases on board. In December 2020, RCI's Quantum of the Seas cruise had cancelled a sailing after a passenger on an earlier trip tested positive for Covid-19.
