We saw multiple cruise ships leaving port here in Miami on Sunday. It was weird, to be honest. We didn’t see any passengers, so we weren’t sure where they were going.
Last night, just after dark, I saw what I thought was a cruise ship heading towards Miami/Ft. Laud. I’m near Jupiter, FL. I guessing they are out getting “sea legs”
Perhaps you saw some test runs on Cruise ships prior to taking out passengers. See excerpt below. -Tom

FAIN is the Chairman of Royal Caribbean in an excerpt from Cruise Hive story shown below - Tom
Right now, Royal Caribbean has suspended cruises from the United States through October 31, 2020, which is in-line with the extended CDC No Sail order. Before Royal Caribbean begins resuming operations Fain has said that some non-revenue test sailings will take place first to help train the crew and validate new health protocols.
The test sailings will be evaluated before anything is set in stone but once Royal Caribbean ships do start sailing with passengers they will be shorter cruises with limited destinations and controlled shore excursions.
