Royal Caribbean CEO Richard Fain expressed his optimism for the U.S. summer cruising season. “We are moving inexorably towards the total resumption of cruising in a safe and healthy manner. Last Saturday, the Celebrity Millennium started her first voyage in 15 months, leaving from St Maarten to destinations in the Caribbean,” Fain said in a video address to travel advisors. Fain also said that the rest of the cruise line’s fleet will be returning during 2021. “While I may not know every detail of the process, I can assure you this: we will not restart any ship unless and until we are confident of two things. Firstly, it is safe to do so, and more so than shoreside equivalents. And secondly, that the experience onboard meets our exacting expectations, including guest ratings of the crews, at least equal to what they were pre-pandemic,” he said. He also noted that the cruise industry is progressing with its restart at “lightspeed,” and that cruising will play a large role in the U.S. this summer.
