Forty-eight passengers and crew members tested positive for COVID-19 on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas ship, which docked at PortMiami on Saturday, the cruise company said.
Miami-based Royal Caribbean said in a statement on Sunday that each person who tested positive immediately went into quarantine. Six people who had tested positive disembarked the ship mid-voyage and were transported home.
The passengers who tested positive were either asymptomatic or had mild symptoms.
The new cases come as the omicron variant is quickly spreading across the United States, potentially throwing a wrench in holiday travel plans. Royal Caribbean said that Symphony of Sea’s future trips would not be affected. The ship has left Miami for a new trip to Mexico, according to vesselfinder.com.
The ship that pulled into Miami on Saturday left port on Dec. 11 with 6,091 passengers and crew on board, 95% of whom were fully vaccinated. Of the 48 who tested positive for Covid-19, 98% were fully vaccinated.
The 48 confirmed cases may be a setback for the cruise industry, which has slowly restarted over the past six months.
Cruise industry leaders say that being on a cruise ship is the safest kind of vacation travelers can take at the moment because of the controlled environment where they can mandate vaccines. But breakthrough infections have the potential to put the industry in a bad spot again.
Cruises were COVID-19 hot spots at the onset of the pandemic, causing the industry to completely shut down for over a year. Many cruise lines had to take on massive debts while they were unable to make any revenue for the better part of a year.
This report will be updated.

Now they’ll be known as Royal Covidian :)
And all were vaxxed, right?
If anybody still cares about COVID epidemiology, this is actually quite interesting.
There must have been an unvaxxed stowaway! It’s the only possible answer! #vaxpimp
You cant even get on a cruise ship unless you show proof of vaccination..so I guess this is a pandemic of the vaccinated after all..which is all by design of course..big pharma really are brilliant..create a vaccine that is a tiny bit effective, but creates mutations of the original virus, you need booster after booster to fight it, which makes big pharma more moolah
From the article-

So, more proof these “vaccines” do not work.
Omicron of the Seas, departing shortly from pier 1.
but but but just think how severe their syptoms would’ve been if they had been UNvaxed....
Oh gee how could that have happened ???
Someone’s lying theyre all vaxxed they cant get the Wu Hu Flu ...
Joe said so ....

I bet youtube has cruise videos.
I can oil up in the privacy of my home with a sun lamp.

Yep. It’s that follow the money thing; now Fascist Fauci is calling the omicron variant dangerous and prepare for another scam-demic lock down.
Imagine that.
Another indication the vaccines are a failure at preventing infection. Yet mandates are still under consideration to stop the spread and as Biden said protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated.
“... each person who tested positive immediately went into quarantine.”
Right there, why I will never be tested.
Would love to hear your thoughts. As far as i have read omicron is an upper respiratory infection with no lower respiratory tract symptoms or infection. This may be the ideal virus to finish here immunity
