Some passengers on the Florida-based Carnival Freedom CCL, -0.24% cruise ship were crying foul over their curtailed Christmas-cruise schedule due to an undisclosed number of passengers testing positive for COVID-19.
“People have spent thousands of dollars on this cruise and picked this cruise for the ports,” she tweeted TWTR, +0.59%. “Now on an 8-day cruise we will have only gone to one place on a delayed schedule. They think $100 per room is enough compensation?” While some people may not relish the idea of roaming a ship wearing face masks during a global pandemic, the cruise-line industry has been attempting to adapt to this new normal, offering week-long trips for as little as $390 per person.
Royal Caribbean said all passengers were required to be vaccinated and have negative COVID-19 tests. Those who tested positive were quarantined; their close contacts were also quarantined and monitored for 24 hours prior to testing. Travel on cruise ships is particularly popular among families and the elderly, and the risk of contagion is relatively high on a ship. Younger children with strong immune systems have the lowest fatality and hospitalization rates from COVID-19.
