The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention lifted its no-sail order on November 1st. However, Royal Caribbean will be looking for volunteers to embark on trial cruises. These cruises are a way to test safety guidelines the CDC has put in place to allow ships to set sail again. Most cruise ships have been at dock since March, when the coronavirus pandemic halted all travel. Royal Caribbean is going to be looking for volunteers to experience the new style of cruising. The process will use simulated voyages to "test cruise ships" ability to mitigate COVID-19 risk.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave cruise lines a thumbs up for restarting US operations Friday. As per the CDC's newest statement, cruise lines will be able to sail again on November 1st. The allowance of cruises hinges on the ships meeting a strict set of rules provided by the CDC. The cruise line must meet all of the standards before passengers will be allowed aboard. Originally, the CDC planned to halt cruise activity until February of 2021 but the White House overruled it,. According to Business Insider, the current no-sail order expires on October 31.
Some people get an extra paycheck for Christmas, others don't get any Christmas bonus at all, but employees of Bertch Cabinets got one of the best Christmas bonuses that we've ever heard of. Around 800 employees from Bertch Cabinet boarded the Carnival Victory cruise ship at the Port of Miami on Monday. The cabinet manufacturer based in Waterloo, Iowa decided to reward its workers with a company-paid trip around the Caribbean after the company recovered from the recession. The employees of the cabinet making company were first treated to one night in a five-star hotel in Miami, before being whisked away to the dazzling waters of the Caribbean for five days aboard the Destiny-class cruise ship. The sun-kissed sojourn will include stops on Key West in Florida and the Mexican island of Cozumel. Gary Bertch, the company's co-founder, offered his employees the trip after reportedly challenging them to meet certain goals last year. Prior to 2005, the company had offered its workers cruise trips every year from 1989 onwards, but were forced to stop the programme due the economic downturn.
