THE CRUISE GENIUS SCOTT LEHRER
SCOTT, THANK YOU. SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US. THIS MORNING WAS
THAT I REALLY
LIKE THIS GREEN MEANS GO RED
MEANS SO YOU DECIDING GO IS A
YELLOW IS IFFY WHERE DID
THIS I.
>> SYSTEM COME FROM THIS
RESOURCE WHILE THE CDC AND THE
CRUISE LINES HAVE BEEN WORKING
VERY CLOSELY TOGETHER
CONSIDERING EVERYTHING IN THE
NEWS, THE LAST
SEVERAL MONTHS TO MAKE CRUISING
SAFE AGAIN THAT THE PUBLIC WILL
RESTORE THEIR CONFIDENCE
AND CRUISING AND I WILL TELL
YOU AS A CRUISE TRAVEL AGENT
I’VE BEEN GETTING SO MANY CALLS
ABOUT BOOKING IT’S
BEEN GREAT.
>>ZAC LASHWAY: AND THE LAST
TIME WE SPOKE YOU SAID YOU ARE
STARTING TO GET THOSE PHONE
CALLS I ASK YOU PERSONALLY IF
YOU WOULD MAKE JESTER TO BOOK A
TRIP AND YOU
SAID, YES.
>> ABSOLUTELY I MEAN IF THEY
OPEN IT UP TODAY, I’D BE THE
FIRST ONE ON THE SHIP HERE IN
JAXPORT AND I AS I’VE ALWAYS
SAID CRUISING IS SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE AND WITH THESE NEW
THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING ON
NOW IT’S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT TO LET THE PUBLIC
KNOW
HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THE
CRUISING WILL BE SAFE AND THE
NUMBER ONE THING IS GOING TO BE
PRETTY SCREENINGS. YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU GO TO THE AIRPORT NOW
THEY’VE GOT THE TEMPERATURE
THINGS AND THAT’S EXACTLY HOW
IT’S GOING TO BE ON THE CRUISE
LINES WE’RE GOING TO DO DOING
EXTENSIVE PRE SCREENINGS FOR
NOT ONLY THE PASSENGERS BUT
THE CREW.
>> TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE
WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC AS MUCH
AS YOU DO DO YOU THINK
THESE STEPS ARE NECESSARY AND I
ASK
THAT BECAUSE DO YOU THINK THAT
IF THEY WEREN’T IN PLACE.
PEOPLE WOULD BE BOOKING RIGHT
NOW.
>> WELL, I BELIEVE THAT ONLY
10% OF THE AMERICANS HAVE
EVER CRUISED AND SO THE PEOPLE
THAT HAVE CREWS PREVIOUSLY LIKE
MYSELF, NO THEY’RE CRUISING IS
FUN AND WE’VE DEALT WITH
CORONAVIRUS
AND SO WHEN THAT ACTUALLY WE
DEALT WITH THINK THE OTHER
THINGS WITH THE THE GASTRO
GASTRO SO WE KNOW THAT KEEPING SHIPS CLEAN AND SAFE AND HEALTHY IS VERY IMPORTANT.
SO THAT PEOPLE KEEP COMING
BACK. SCOTT.
THIS GREEN.
>>ZAC LASHWAY: YELLOW RED
SYSTEM THIS IS FROM THE
CDC, BUT CRUISE LINES
THEMSELVES LIKE NORWEGIAN THERE
ARE ALSO STEPPING UP
THERE PUTTING NEW PROTOCOLS IN
PLACE WHAT AREAS DO THESE COVER
WAS HE SAID WITH THE
PRE SCREENINGS. >> ENHANCED FILTRATION AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE REDOUBLING
THEIR EFFORTS WIPING DOWN EVERY
THING KEEPING EVERYTHING CLEAN.
YOU KNOW ON HOLLAND AMERICA
LINE. WHAT THEY WOULD DO IN
SOME CASES WAS THE
PEOPLE THAT THE PASSENGERS WERE
NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THE
UTENSILS SO PEOPLE THE CREW
WOULD BE BEHIND
AND THEN THE FACE SERVING SO
LIMITED TOUCH. THIS
VERY IMPORTANT AND OF COURSE IS
JUST MAKING SURE THAT THE SHIPS
ARE CLEAN AND SAFE
FOR EVERYONE.
>>ZAC LASHWAY: AND REMIND US
WHEN DO CRUISE SHIPS WHEN YOU
CRUISE LINES EXPECT TO SET SAIL
AGAIN.
>> WELL THERE’S SOME TALK BACK
AND FORTH CARVILLE
SAYING AUGUST AND SO WE WILL
SEE IF THEY’RE GOING TO ABLE TO
MEET THAT DEADLINE BUT I THINK
AUGUST WE SHOULD SEE MORE
CRUISES AND HAVE YOU BOOKED GAS
FOR AUGUST.
>> I AM LOOKING AT IT AND I CAN
TELL YOU THAT I’M LOOKING
FORWARD TO BEING BACK ON A
CRUISE SHIP.
