Forty-eight people on board Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas ship that ended a seven-day sailing in Miami on Saturday tested positive for COVID-19 during the cruise, the cruise line said in an updated statement shared Monday morning.
Those 48 people who tested positive represented 0.78% of the 6,091 passengers and crew members on board Symphony of the Seas, which left Miami on Dec. 11 and made stops in St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Perfect Day at CocoCay (Royal Caribbean’s private island), the cruise line said in an updated statement provided Monday morning by spokesperson Lyan Sierra-Caro.
