Carnival Plans to Limit Passenger Numbers When It Starts Cruising Again

Already looking forward to the moment when its vessels can weigh anchor again with fresh rosters of vacationers aboard, Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) says it might reduce the number of passengers on board each ship for a time to improve safety in the era of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The temporary measures would supplement existing health protocols such as checking passengers for fevers as they board.

The plan might use one or several methods to reduce both the total passengers on board and their potential contact with each other. One proposed method is booking only cabins with direct fresh-air access. Another would consist of allowing booking of alternate cabins only, leaving empty cabins as "spacers" between occupied berths.
