Your Personal Requirements for Cruising

Due to COVID-19, cruise lines will implement extensive new sanitation and social distancing measures that will likely resemble those already in effect at hotels and restaurants around the US. These measures include such things as:

  • disinfecting chairs and tables in dining venues, lounges and poolside every time a guest leaves
  • touchless menus in bars and restaurants
  • temperature checks for all passengers before boarding
  • regular temperature checks and required wearing of masks for all crew members
  • required wearing of masks for passengers in most public areas of the ship
  • reduction in seating capacity of restaurants and entertainment venues
  • reduction in the number of passengers onboard

In addition, one or more approved vaccines for COVID-19 may be available by year end or soon thereafter.

With this in mind, please tell us what would have to occur before you would be willing to cruise in the future. Please check the one option that most closely describes your position.
