Royal Caribbean CEO says new COVID-19 protocol will make cruising 'safer than a walk down Main Street'
Fox News
The CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises has wagered that the cruise line’s new coronavirus protocol will make sailing “safer than a walk down Main Street” when cruising resumes at an undetermined date amid the global pandemic.
Chairman and CEO Richard Fain was optimistic during a fourth-quarter earnings call on Monday, according to a transcript from The Motley Fool. Though Royal Caribbean’s fleet is floating idle due to the suspension of global operations, Fain said administrators are hard at work behind the scenes to establish protocol for a safe and healthy return to cruising. Royal Caribbean has suspended most of its global operations through April. Guided by the Healthy Sail Panel, headed by former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb and former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, who was also the Secretary of Health and Human Services under President George W. Bush, Fain said the cruise line is doing all it can to make sailing as safe as possible.More Related News
