Royal Caribbean and Carnival will push ahead with a return to\u00a0cruises this summer despite two guests testing positive for COVID-19 onboard a test run for Royal Caribbean\u2019s Celebrity Millennium ship.<\/p>\n

A year after several\u00a0cruise\u00a0ships were host to major coronavirus outbreaks and with large numbers of Americans now vaccinated,\u00a0cruise\u00a0lines\u00a0have been striving to get business going.<\/p>\n

Shares in Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian\u00a0Cruise\u00a0Line Holdings, which all booked massive losses last year as restrictions brought the industry to a standstill, fell between 1% and 2% in response to the positive tests.<\/p>\n

Asked by Reuters on Friday, Royal Caribbean declined to give more details on the guests who had tested positive or the circumstances of their infection.<\/p>\n

Celebrity\u00a0Cruises later said it was paying to fly both guests home privately on Saturday and planning to disembark the remaining passengers on time after being tested.<\/p>\n

A source close to Carnival who declined to be named said the company was also pressing ahead with its summer\u00a0cruises as planned.<\/p>\n

Royal Caribbean\u2019s Celebrity Millennium\u00a0cruise\u00a0is due to end on the island of St. Maarten on Saturday.<\/p>\n

All guests on board were required to show proof of vaccination as well as a negative COVID-19 test before sailing from St. Maarten a week ago.<\/p>\n

The operator, one of the first in North America to restart operations on a trial basis, said on Thursday the individuals were asymptomatic, in isolation and being monitored by medics. Celebrity was also conducting contact tracing and expediting testing for all close contacts, it added.<\/p>\n

Cruise\u00a0industry blogger Ashley Kosciolek wrote in her live blog<\/a> that she was told on Thursday evening that the infected passengers had been on her onshore excursion on Barbados two days earlier. She was asked to stay in her room for about four hours, until her results showed negative.<\/p>\n

Kosciolek\u2019s posts showed the\u00a0cruise\u00a0had also stopped in Aruba and Curacao.<\/p>\n

Cruise\u00a0lines\u00a0are in discussions with Florida, from where some trip<\/a>s will sail, after the state\u2019s governor pushed against people having to show proof of vaccine. Trips are scheduled to start in June and early July, sailing to the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera and Alaska.<\/p>\n

Cruise\u00a0expert Stewart Chiron, who is on board the Celebrity Millennium ship, told Reuters that life onboard Thursday night had gone on as planned, with dinners, shows, and evening entertainment. He said no one on board was wearing masks.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
