UnCruise Adventures set sail on the very first cruise of the 2020 Alaskan season this month, but the sailing was quickly canceled after a passenger tested positive for COVID-19. However, the same passenger retested as negative for COVID-19 just days later.
The guest in question was tested a total of three times. Before flying into Alaska, the guest tested negative for COVID-19, thus permitting embarkation. Only when the guest was retested in Juneau did results come back as positive; by then, the cruise had already set sail with the guest onboard. But, after the guest took a third test in quarantine, the results came back as negative.
