Behind the Scenes tours

[artcoach2]

Does anyone know if the have restarted the Behind the Scenes on any of the cruise lines?

[CruiserBruce]

Holland America has not, that I have heard.

[jsn55]

Highly doubtful.  Staffing issues are still a huge problem.

I'm booked on a Celebrity Eclipse behind the scenes tour next March

Very unlikely.

The risk of an infected passenger contaminating everyone’s food is quite high.

I don't think any science would back that "quite high" statement.

Celebrity Millennium shows it as an option for my Alaska cruise in July 2023.

The US Public Health Service made that “quite high” statement. They make the rules.

[CruiserBruce]

I don't think they said it's quite high chance of getting Covid through contaminated food. 

[Shorex]

Have within the past week toured the bridge and engineering on Azamara Journey, currently en route to Cape Town.

[Donald]

I also do not think there is a high chance of getting COVID via contaminated food.

But most cruise lines / ships that regularly call at US Ports have decided to listen to USPH Recommendations rather than CruiserBruce’s and Donald’s Recommendations.

 

USPH has recommended - not dictated - that cruise ships avoid Galley Tours and Cooking Demonstrations until onboard COVID numbers drop lower.

Cruise Lines / ships that do not regularly call at US Ports can safely ignore the USPH Recommendations if they choose.
