As a First Responder, I both support and applaud this move

I love this idea! I'd much rather see ships that can't be used right now due to Coronavirus out there being used in other rewarding ways. There's so many deserving people out there that I'd sure would love to take advantage of a vacation.

Awesome plan!

RCI and Celebrity do have class with this move. Good job RCI.

Well done! Glad to see a bit of good news with all of the not so good stuff.

Great idea .. a win win win all around. Port fees are expensive and need to keep the crew working. This way they have great PR can write some expenses off on taxes and still have bar sales and casino ... not to mention all the new people they can get hooked on cruising ... sort of like a dealer giving free samples to get you hooked ;)

Someone was thinking.

Nice gesture

Great idea. Was wondering where those ships would be re-deployed. Also will keep the crew trained and ready for return to the seasonal sailings. Lines really need to protect their crews.

Absolutely outstanding!
