Royal Caribbean CEO Richard Fain shared an optimistic video update to travel advisors regarding the cruise industry. “We can now state with a high level of confidence that ships from the Royal Caribbean Group will be operating out of U.S. ports as early as next month,” Fain said, adding: “It feels so good to be saying those words.” He also celebrated greater dialogue with the CDC regarding rules for a cruise restart. In regards to the cruise experience post-pandemic, Fain said that there would be more restrictions compared to earlier sailings, but he described them as “temporary and similar to what we’ve all become used to on land.” In terms of masks, he said “We’re optimistic that masks won’t be required anywhere if you’re vaccinated, and since most people will be, this also should be of minimal impact. There will be some areas where social distancing will be required, but the ships will start with lower occupancy so there actually should just be a greater sense of space.”
