What would be your barriers to re-entry?

I received a survey from Seabourn, soliciting opinions about where I might cruise again, and where I feared going in light of the COVID-19. I gave them some feedback in free-form as well:

One deep concern I have going forward is that employees are flown from all over the world on little aluminium tubes called airplanes, arriving just before embarkation. The thought of this in a COVID world scares me. I think that cruise lines need to implement a very rigorous screening procedure for employee embarkation that would go well beyond questionnaires and temperature checks. Perhaps 14-day on-shore quarantines would be needed, or swabs of employees for traces of COVID-19 on their person.

And, what do we do with the passengers who face the same issues?
