The Celebrity Millenium guests "are asymptomatic and currently in isolation" after testing positive before the ship's return to St. Maarten.
Two passengers have tested positive for COVID-19 on board the first cruise to set sail in North America since the industry shut down in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The guests were sharing the same room on Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Millennium ship, which departed St. Maarten in the Caribbean on Saturday. Their positive diagnosis was confirmed on Thursday ahead of the vessel’s return to the port of Philipsburg. “The individuals are asymptomatic and currently in isolation and being monitored by our medical team,” Royal Caribbean, Celebrity’s parent company, said in a statement. “We are conducting contact tracing, expediting testing for all close contacts and closely monitoring the situation.”More Related News
