Because of the close-contact environment on cruise ships and the potential for asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, it is important that close contacts of individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection be quickly identified and tested. Medical centers on cruise ships can vary widely depending on ship size, itinerary, length of cruise, and passenger demographics.
Tests used must be cleared or authorized for emergency use by the FDA. Cruise ship operators must have a protocol for evaluating documentation of recovery, including reviewing previous laboratory results. A high LoD indicates that the assay has a lower sensitivity which may result in more false negative results, especially in asymptomatic infected people.
Procedures and records associated with IPC implementation will be evaluated during inspections. Due to the increased transmissibility of some SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern , foreign-flagged cruise ship operators are advised to reconsider the following mask policies:. Strict adherence to passenger and crew testing protocols will aid in identifying potential cases of COVID on board a cruise ship; however, continued prevention efforts are necessary to reduce the possibility of transmission to others if a case occurs on board the ship.
Due to the increased transmissibility of some SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern , foreign-flagged cruise ship operators are advised to reconsider the following physical distancing policies. When indoors, ventilation mitigation strategies can help reduce viral particle concentration. The lower the concentration, the less likely viral particles can be inhaled into the lungs potentially lowering the inhaled dose ; contact eyes, nose, and mouth; or fall out of the air to accumulate on surfaces.
Protective ventilation practices and interventions can reduce the airborne concentrations and reduce the overall viral dose to occupants. A layered approach should be applied using more than one preventive measure. On porous surfaces, studies report inability to detect viable virus within minutes to hours; on non-porous surfaces, viable virus can be detected for days to weeks.
Cleaning with products containing soap or detergent reduces germs on surfaces by removing contaminants and may also weaken or damage some of the virus particles, which decreases risk of infection from surfaces. Additionally, participating in these activities in other communities and countries with high prevalence of COVID further increases the risk of introduction of COVID onto cruise ships. Embarkation and disembarkation places large numbers of people in close proximity—including passengers, crew, and port personnel—in indoor and sometimes small, enclosed spaces e.
This close proximity can increase the risk of introduction and transmission of COVID onto cruise ships and into communities. Skip directly to site content Skip directly to page options Skip directly to A-Z link. Quarantine and Isolation.

This change was due to the increased transmissibility of some COVID variants of concern , and evidence of breakthrough cases in fully vaccinated individuals, Added language reflecting that, as of July 23, , the CSO and accompanying measures, such as technical instructions, are nonbinding recommendations for cruise ships arriving in, located within, or departing from a port in Florida.
