As each Carnival UK ship gets ready to return to service, colleagues ashore support by boarding for a test overnight stay. These give the team on board an opportunity to SHINE and test all operational elements, as well as the new COVID-19 protocols now have in place.
As Azura’s return to service is in the Caribbean, her test was held ten days ago before she set sail across the Atlantic (though we’re sure colleagues would have happily spent a night on board in Barbados!)
During the test, we welcomed Bureau Veritas on board to audit and verify health and wellbeing standards on board our ships. Having previously given Britannia, Iona, Queen Elizabeth, Ventura and Queen Mary 2 the green light to sail again, Bureau Veritas were on board Queen Mary 2 to assess and verify all procedures and protocols to identify and manage COVID-19 related risks.
We’re really proud to say Azura was officially approved to return to service having passed her audit! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen.
