SINGAPORE – A passenger aboard a Royal Caribbean ‘cruise-to-nowhere’ from Singapore has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing all guests to be quarantined in their cabins and the Quantum of the Seas ship to return to dock on Wednesday.
Singapore has been piloting the trips, which are open only to residents, make no stops and sail in waters just off the city-state. There were around 2,000 passengers aboard at the time who have all been confined to their rooms.
Royal Caribbean’s ‘cruises-to-nowhere’ from Singapore began last week, marking the firm’s first sailing since it halted its global operations in March due to the pandemic.
It was not immediately clear when the guests of the ship could disembark, the captain said in his message to guests. (Reuters)
