At least four cruise ships reported Omicron outbreaks on board this week, and were turned away from their destinations as the CDC said it was investigating 68 ships on Monday.

The Mexican government said Tuesday it will allow passengers with negative coronavirus tests to disembark from cruise ships even if other travelers and crew members test positive.
