  • 5 cruise ship workers arrived today on Vision of the Seas
  • 5th group of cruise line workers repatriated to Grenada
  • More than 100 are expected to arrive on 10 June on a Norwegian cruise ship

Health authorities on Sunday morning processed and screened 5 cruise ship workers who arrived on Vision of the Seas at the St George’s Cruise Ship Terminal.

In accordance with new public health protocol established because of Covid-19 they will all be placed in 14 days mandatory quarantine before going to their place of residency. All cruise ship workers are in quarantine at the expense of the state and must undergo Covid-19 testing before release. A rapid test is conducted immediately upon arrival as part of the arrival screening.

A group of more than 100 are expected to arrive on 10 June on a Norwegian cruise ship which currently dropping off workers in South American nations. That group will be the biggest group to arrive since Grenada began allowing cruise ship workers to return home.

    The Norwegian ship is coming on the 15th and not the 10th June according to the ship itinerary. Just making some corrections to the information

    Why not hiring a plane for just 4 workers?

    Why quarantine, if they are tested? No trust in the test? If so, you can skip it later, too.

      Two negative readings are advised, because you can test negative and later can be positive.
      Is it that cheap to charter a plane?
      Constructive criticism and solutions only please. Be realistic.

    So all these workers are now unemployed and looking to be re employed by the liners as and when they re start taking back workers .

    I sure hope these workers have first choice when this happens so that they can get back on the ships.
