I know what is expected of Royal Caribbean crew who are going back at the moment (although it could change once large numbers are going back) as they're really open with us: 2 weeks quarantine at home (not that you can prove it either way) and a negative test 72 hours before you travel, then before you board another test and then 2 weeks quarantine again once onboard in a single cabina!
I would think when they first go back, crew will just quarantine on the ship, there's no guests there, and wont cost any money either way...
If not, I dont think they'd put them up at WDW (they never do for returning crew, it's always a crowne plaza or Hilton).
Also, crew visas are only 'landing visas' and even if we have an esta we can't use both in one trip, so they could enter on an esta/other visa, but they would have to leave the country and re-enter on the C1/D. (Like if a non US crew wants to stay in the US at the end of their contract, they either have to fly somewhere out and back in or end their contract in the last foreign port), and in a C1/D (crew visa) you're only allowed a certain amount of time in the US, and I'm not sure if it's long enough for a 2 week quarantine on land...
I think they would quarantine crew for now, (I dont get why, I could isolate for a month and then get infected 5 minutes into my first shift, talking to the first guests I see...) so if it did come onbaord they can say the crew were 'clean' and it was the guests that brought it on, especially as, for now, crew wont be allowed off anywhere....
