The crew members aren't sure when they'll be able to safely return home. When asked about physical distancing measures, the cruise line spokesperson reiterated that crew members have been quarantined and said rigid sanitary protocols are in place. Global Affairs suggested that if the crew members require consular assistance, they contact the closest Canadian consulate abroad. The department also cautioned that if an outbreak does happen on the ship, crew members could face quarantine procedures and their access to consular assistance could be significantly limited by local governments. Global Affairs said it recommends Canadians aboard cruise ships contact cruise officials for information about disembarking.
