Tak hanya kali ini saja, kapal pesiar Spectrum of the Seas juga sudah sempat tertahan gegara awak kapalnya diketahui positif Covid-19 dalam uji rutin sebelum keberangkatan pada Oktober 2021 silam. Padahal, Kapal pesiar bernama "Spectrum of the Seas" itu akan memulai pesiar di perairan sekitar dengan pembatasan jumlah penumpang hingga separuh kapasitas. Β

Beberapa persyaratan pun sudah dijalankan mulai dari penumpangnya yang harus sudah divaksin lengkap dan membawa hasil negatif tes COVID-19 maksimal 48 jam sebelum keberangkatan. Sekitar 1.000 dari 1.200 penumpang sudah berada di atas kapal ketika pesiar yang akan berlangsung empat malam itu dan terpaska harus dibatalkan. Semua penumpang harus menjalani tes ulang dan diperbolehkan meninggalkan kapal karena tidak melakukan kontak langsung dengan anak buah kapal (ABK) yang diduga positif.
