The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been working with global public health experts and industry partners to learn about omicron, spokesperson Dave Daigle told USA TODAY Thursday. "We are still learning how easily it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and how well available vaccines and medications work against it." According to the company's website, a positive case, that does not require admission to the ship's medical center or medical disembarkation, will be moved to a different cabin during the isolation period. The company will also offer a pro-rated cruise fare refund if a cruise is cut short for reasons related to COVID-19, for cruises departing on or before September 30, 2022. Because Hochberg became sick toward the end of his trip, he only had to isolate in his cabin for one day. Guest services provided him with numerous options for his disembarkment plan, including allowing him to stay on board and finish his quarantine until he tested negative.

On average, 19 people go overboard on cruise ships each year — and of those, only about four are rescued, Insider reported, citing a 2020 study commissioned by the industry trade group Cruise Lines International Association. “The passenger was recovered alive and reported to be in good health, after reportedly falling into the water from 10th deck of the ship," it said. "No medical evacuation of the passenger was requested by the cruise ship. The passenger was being kept on the cruise ship’s medical facility and later transferred to the Hospital in Willemstad, Curacao for evaluation." "On Sunday, shortly after departure there was a medical emergency involving one of our passengers," the cruise line company said in an emailed statement. "This passenger went over their balcony onto a lower deck, and despite receiving immediate medical attention, has passed away."

"I think there was a majority of people that saw something [in the water] and that's really where it took over." Kuhn said that he didn’t expect the passenger to be found alive and that he was pleasantly surprised he was wrong. Everyone was trying to help, and the crew was very receptive to everyone,” he said.
The CDC advises people who are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to avoid cruise travel and advises travelers to get a booster shot if eligible, Daigle said. "Assuming you are otherwise healthy, then you may think it is fine to sail," he continued.

The sibling didn’t report her brother gone until noon the next day, prompting the Cozumel, Mexico-bound ship to retrace its sailing path toward New Orleans Thursday, Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli told the outlet. According to a report from the Cruise Lines International Association, there were 212 overboard incidents from 2009 to 2019, and only 48 — or 28.2% — of those who fell overboard were successfully rescued. In one of the videos, a small boat can be seen in the distance and people aboard the cruise ship are heard clapping, whistling and cheering. "They can move their money to another cruise that sails on or before March 31, 2023 (any ship, any sail date without penalty)," Stephen Schuler, vice president of communications for MSC, told USA TODAY on Wednesday. "The only exception to this is guests booked on MSC World Cruise or World Cruise segments." For bookings made through March 31, 2022, for cruises through March 31, 2023, passengers can change their cruise up to 48 hours ahead of departure.
The ship and crew immediately reported the incident to local authorities and launched a search and rescue mission,” a company rep told The Post in an email. A spokesperson for Royal Caribbean said that the crew immediately reported the incident to local authorities who launched a search and rescue mission. At least 10 other people have fallen overboard from cruise ships this year, Business Insider previously reported. Coast Guard crews have suspended the search for an Australian cruise ship passenger off the coast of Hawaii following a report of a person overboard, officials said Thursday.

Matthew Kuhn, who was on the cruise ship with his family, told WOFL-TV of Orlando, Florida, that he watched rescue efforts from his balcony. Most cruise lines offer future cruise credits if a passenger gets sick with COVID-19, but Hochberg said that process has been challenging. The passenger — a 16-year-old boy — died after he fell from a balcony and landed on the deck, TMZ first reported, citing passengers on board.
A video of the incident shows the Coast Guard MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter aircrew executing a medevac in order to transport the patient safely to land by helicopter. According to CruiseMapper, which tracks the locations of thousands of cruises around the world, the Vision of the Seas ship is currently traveling around the Bahamas. The Coast Guard said Monday that it has since called off its search for the missing person. “I think it kind of blows the norm, the normalcy, out of the water here, and really just shows the will to live is something that you need to account for in every search-and-rescue case,” he told CNN. The missing 28-year-old man, who hasn’t been identified, was with his sister at the Carnival Valor’s bar at 11 p.m. Wednesday when he took a bathroom break and never came back, the outlet reported.
