Cruise lines move to vaccinate thousands of crew members
Cruise lines are conducting mass vaccine rollouts as they race to get crew members vaccinated in time for a summer restart. The CDC has hinted cruise ships could restart operations from the US by mid-July.
Royal Caribbean says it has vaccinated 1,300 crew members in a week at PortMiami. When crews are fully vaccinated, cruise lines will be able to press ahead with training them on new Covid-safe protocols required by the CDC.
Cruise ships with the vast majority of crew and guests vaccinated can skip the CDC’s yesy cruise phase.
