Pre-boarding screening practices will apply to guests and crew members. Additionally, crew members will be screened at the conclusion of every cruise.
Reduction of crew movement in public spaces. Crew trained to engage in social distancing at all times, including when off-duty.
Covid-19 identification training for all crew members. This includes training on how to observe and report symptoms, as well as how to self-identify symptoms.
Covid-19 response training for all crew members.

The Covid-19 Operating Protocol is subject to review and change at any time. As the situation evolves, operating practices must be adapted; this includes the potential for cruise suspension. These practices do not eliminate the risk. Rather, they are designed to reduce risk and slow the spread of illness by removing known transmission sources, increasing awareness, and speeding response time.
