interesting article about what it’s like on a post-Covid cruise.

Minor point: This is a full revenue cruise rather than a test cruise, they are just avoiding entering the US so they don't have to adhere to CDC rules. Celebrity currently doesn't have any simulated cruises planned and, if all goes well, will launch the first US departure under the CDC's 95% vaccinated option on July 26th.

Good point, title updated.

We were on the Millie in December 2019 for 14 nights. It's an amazingly well (re-)done ship.

Not sure if I can share who is doing it (because it's a different travel company) but the travel agent I use for my non-Disney cruises (mainly Regent Seven Seas) is on the cruise out of St. Martin and doing daily live streams. So much fun to watch and I recommend searching YouTube for it.

Agreed. Loved reading it and gave me hope about DCL adopting similar measures so they can sail soon.
I particularly liked how some ports allowed for passengers to be on their own.
My heart melted when the writer said she cried.
Thanks for the link OP.

I really enjoyed the article. I've also been following along on a few Celebrity FB groups. Very exciting.
