Cruise ship passengers were hit hard by the COVID virus. As cruise ships begin to resume their sailing schedules, cruise companies are hiring security guards to help implement safety and monitoring procedures on land to keep passengers safe prior to boarding.

Cruise operators can’t afford an outbreak to occur while a ship is out to sea. A single infected passenger could infect hundreds. Cruise operators would then run the risk of having to shut down again. They realize that the best way to prevent sickness onboard, is to screen crew and passengers before being allowed to enter the ship

Pre-Boarding Security Measures. Before the crew and passengers can board, they must show guards proof of vaccination or recent testing. Temperature checks are part of the pre-boarding routine. Temperature checks are also conducted by security guards before passengers and crew reenter the ship after U.S.-based off-ship excursions during the cruise.

In addition to passenger and crew screenings, security teams provide terminal security by patrolling the perimeter, helping with baggage screening and monitoring access control of terminal locations. Guards are also responsible for ensuring passengers remain orderly and follow all required protocols prior to boarding. With bad behavior cropping everywhere, security at cruise terminals takes on added importance.

Access Control Security has been providing licensed security guards to businesses for over 25 years. Our guards have the positive communication skills to interact with the public so that check-in and boarding run smoothly.
