Conditional Sail Order Simulated Voyage
After-Action Report Template
Instructions
As per the terms of CDC’s Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO), cruise ship operators must
conduct at least one simulated voyage as a condition of receiving controlled free pratique for restricted
passenger voyages under a COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate. A simulated voyage must be designed
and conducted insofar as practicable to test the efficacy of the cruise ship operator’s ability to mitigate the
risk of COVID-19 onboard a cruise ship. The cruise ship operator must document any deficiencies in its
health and safety protocols through this “after-action” report and describe how the cruise ship operator
intends to address those deficiencies prior to applying for a COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate. The
after-action report must be submitted to the CDC as soon as practicable at the end of the simulation and as
part of the cruise ship operator’s application for a COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate. Where
appropriate, incorporate into the after-action report photographic, video, testimonial, or other evidence
documenting that the simulated voyage was conducted in accordance with the cruise ship operator’s health
and safety protocols and CDC’s technical instructions.

Post-disembarkation Test Results

13.

☐

By checking this box, I confirm that at least 75% of all passengers have provided a
specimen collected 3 to 5 days after disembarkation to the cruise ship operator’s
selected laboratory for COVID-19 testing. CDC may lower the 75% postdisembarkation testing requirement for future simulated voyages based on lessons
learned from previous simulated voyages and other factors. I further confirm that
all aggregate post-disembarkation test results are included in the after-action
report to CDC or if any post-disembarkation test results are received after the
submission of this report that an amended report will be submitted to CDC.

Overall Assessment of Health and Safety Protocols

14.

In this section, include the cruise ship operator’s overall assessment and conclusions regarding the
efficacy of its health and safety protocols at mitigating the risk of COVID-19 onboard the cruise ship
and whether any changes, modifications, or adjustments to these protocols will occur based on
“lessons learned” from the simulated voyage.

Best Practices and Lessons Learned from Voyages Outside of U.S. (if applicable)
Activities conducted on voyages that occurred outside of U.S. waters during the period of the No
Sail Order or CSO that were not conducted as part of a CDC-approved simulated voyage, do not
count towards the activities that must be simulated on a simulated voyage. However, cruise ship
operators may use this section to describe how best practices and lessons learned from these
voyages were incorporated into the simulated voyage (attach additional sheets as needed).

Certification Statement
I hereby certify under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 that the information submitted in this after-action report is
complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief. This after-action report is submitted in
fulfillment of CDC’s requirements for conducting a simulated voyage and as a condition of obtaining a
COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate. Based on CDC’s review of the after-action report, CDC may
require that the cruise ship operator modify its practices or procedures and/or engage in additional
simulated voyages prior to the issuance of the COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate. I acknowledge that
any false or misleading statements or omissions in this after-action report may endanger health and
safety, including but not limited to the loss of lives and other irreparable harm. Therefore, false, or
misleading statements or omissions may result in criminal and civil actions for fines, penalties, damages,
and imprisonment.
