ThePointsGuy.com’s Gene Sloan joins Paul and Elizabeth to report on the successful sailing of MSC Cruises’ MSC Grandiosa around Italy.
In the terminal, the line tested every passenger for COVID-19. Each passenger had to receive a negative test before being allowed to board. The line also instituted other health and safety protocols, such as mask-wearing and social distancing, and the cruise was COVID-free. This is a milestone for the cruise industry, says Gene, and might set the standard for the future.
