Norwegian Cruise Line is joining the movement to add certified lifeguards to their ships, following Disney and Royal Caribbean International. They will start appearing on the line's four largest ships (Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Epic) “this summer” (no specific dates given), and they will be fleetwide by early next year.
The lifeguards will be trained and certified by the American Red Cross and staff the family pools during scheduled pool hours.
The complete story appeared in the April 19 edition of Cruise News Daily.
