Major U.S. cruise lines are implementing new health policies and safety measures to build upon the very extensive
health standards that were already being maintained across the industry. These changes, which surpass airline
3
industry standards, include:
Responsible Social Distancing
We are advised that cruise lines will resume operations at 40% – 60% occupant capacity to reduce
physical contact in all public areas.
Increased Sanitization
Ships will be sanitized in an effort to continuously meet or exceed the highest cleaning and
disinfection standards. Port terminals will also be sanitized continuously and, where possible,
fogged before and after embarkation and disembarkation.
Pre-Cruise Screening
Passengers will be subject to extensive screening prior to
embarkation and will be subject to continuous screening on board through regular
temperature checks and physical monitoring. Passengers will be screened prior to
disembarkation in Port.
Medical Resources and Facilities Management
Cruise lines have advised that they will increase medical resources including
the number of medical personnel aboard each ship, examination facilities, and
isolation rooms.
Communication
Cruise lines remain in constant communication with U.S. public health, cruise port,
and international partners to make the reopening of the industry as safe as
possible for all stakeholders.NCPL + LOCAL TOURISM

CRUISE INDUSTRY COMMITMENT
• The cruise industry is the only transport business sector that has
made a formal commitment to share health and safety information
with the CDC.
EFFECTIVENESS OF THERMAL SCANNERS
• Thermal scanners can sense elevated skin temperatures and have been found to
be most effective in temperature-controlled environments such as at airports, not
at outdoor facilities such as cruise port piers.
• Based on this information, we will not conduct temperature screenings of
cruise passengers arriving at NCPL using thermal scanners. We will use non-
contact thermometers to read the temperatures of anyone at the port who
displays influenza-like symptoms.
DISINFECTION OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
• According to the CDC, environmental cleaning should focus on high-touch surfaces such as hand
railings, door handles and knobs, sink faucets, and other surfaces that are handled frequently
throughout the day by many people. Piers, sidewalks, roads and other external surfaces that are not
frequently touched by people’s hands will be subject to general cleaning, but not disinfection as the risk
of transmission of disease from these surfaces is very low.NCPL HEALTH & SAFETY MEASURES
Our enhanced health and safety policies and procedures include, but are not limited to:

MANAGEMENT PROCESS 8
As part of the company’s commitment to the health and safety of employees, visitors and the wider community, NCPL provides RT
PCR COVID testing for staff on a monthly basis, maintains an attendance and visitor log and maintains social distance and
sanitization protocols. If a cruise passenger, port community member, NCPL employee, or any other person within the port area
displays influenza-like symptoms within our facility, we will implement the following CDC-approved five-step process to assist that
person and to protect everyone from potential COVID-19 transmission as quickly as possible:
STEP 1 INFORM Advise public health authorities, port personnel and other key stakeholders.
STEP 2 ISOLATE Promptly isolate the individual within a designated quarantine space.
STEP 3 TRACE Conduct a contact tracing investigation in collaboration with public health,
cruise line, and other officials to determine who the person interacted with
and where they traveled.
STEP 4 CLEAN Thoroughly clean all surfaces and spaces that the symptomatic person
visited.
STEP 5 REPORT Share all information gathered with relevant authorities and others.NCPL HEALTH & SAFETY PROGRAM*
