Cruise ships are affected by COVID-19
Regina Osgood was horrified to learn that a COVID-19 virus outbreak occurred on a cruise ship. Sally, who was suffering from COVID-19, began to show symptoms while onboard Carnival Spirit. The couple was eventually diagnosed with the virus and quarantined in their cabin for the duration of their trip. They returned to Seattle later. They claim that the quarantine was very difficult. They are grateful to have been allowed back on land.
Operators of cruise ships should have clear procedures in place for medical evacuations when they are at sea. They should rely on commercial resources, such as a ship tender or a chartered standby vessel, as well as airlift. Protocols should not place restrictions on federal resources or limit passengers' access to space and time. It is important that COVID-19 compliant passengers with COVID-19 have comfortable and well-fitting helmets. Because medical treatment can be disrupted by masks that don't fit correctly, it is important to make sure the masks are snugly fitted.
Royal Caribbean has added 9 cruise ships to its fleet
The Royal Caribbean has trademarked 9 new cruise ship names and filed them with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. These new names include the former Royal Caribbean ships Majesty and Monarch of the Seas. The delivery date for either of these ships is not known, but they will both be delivered by 2023.

Carnival Jubilee will be the first large ship to bunker marine biofuel with marine biofuel
Carnival Jubilee, which will arrive at Port Canaveral on the 30th of July, will be arriving there. At 182,800 tonnes, the new ship will carry about 5,400 passengers with 1,700 crew. It will be sailing seven-day Western Caribbean itineraries. The large-sized cruise liner is among the first large ships that used LNG fuel. The company pioneered LNG-fuelled passenger cruises.
AIDA has made investments in environmentally responsible travel in order to appeal to cruise operators who are interested to transition to renewable fuels. The Dutch biofuel pioneer GoodFuels and AIDA have partnered to make sustainable materials a priority for the cruise line. Its latest ship, AIDAprima, is already using the sustainable biofuel, derived 100 percent from waste materials. The next-generation marine biofuel produced by GoodFuels reduces CO2 emissions by 80 to 90 percent, making it the world's first major passenger ship to bunker with marine biofuel.
