Pre-Cruise & Embarkation Day

Enhanced Screening Protocols

Onboard

Increased Sanitization Measures

• All guests and crew are required to sanitize their hands when entering public spaces, when coming back onboard the ship each day, and before each meal.
• Housekeeping staff will disinfect all public area touch points and hot spots throughout the day, including all handrails and door handles.
• Disinfectant wipes are available throughout the ship, including at coffee stations and in the public restrooms.

• All coffee table books, magazines and brochures have been removed from public use. Guests will be able to access these reading materials via our complimentary PressReader app on their mobile devices.

Facility Upgrades

Food Service

• All meals are now served by culinary and waitstaff, with no self-service allowed during buffets.
