CDC Approves Test Trip For Royal Caribbean Cruise Line

Royal Caribbean is the first cruise line approved by the CDC for a test sailing in US waters. The CDC has allowed one cruise ship to conduct a simulated voyage next month, which will include volunteer passengers. These passengers are not required to be vaccinated but must agree to COVID testing before and after the trip.
