Hundreds of Surfside Emergency Workers and Their Dogs will Receive Free Housing on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship

As search and recovery efforts continue in Surfside, Florida, where a condominium building suddenly collapsed last week, emergency workers will receive free housing, meals and other amenities aboard Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas. The cruise line announced on 02JUL that the ship will help support approximately 600 emergency workers and their dogs. Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said in a statement that the resource "will ensure our search and rescue teams have a quiet space to recover their mental and physical well-being as they work 12-hour shifts." Richard Fain, Royal Caribbean Group's chairman and CEO, said in a statement that “Our thoughts are with the families and our whole community, and our thanks go out to the hardworking search and rescue teams.” He continued, saying "Providing them shelter is a small way to show our support."
