As we have discussed on previous threads about or CDC and Cruise lines to me a key sentence in the above excerpt which is: However, there is the worry that it may take weeks more to assess the public comments and make a decision. This could lead to a further suspension on operations in the U.S.

This means our, IMHO, inept , incompetent ,CDC which wants to curtail Cruising, can further deliver that industry another blow by more extensions, to drive the Cruise Industry into more debt. (Don't forget that besides their own money, these Cruise Lines are running their businesses on BILLIONS of borrowed money.)

We should know the answer from the CDC in a few weeks.-Tom

Hey, figure it out, they don’t care. I swear the only one who does care is President Trump. He’s fighting the whole deep state to keep us from becoming another Marxist evil pit.

Ocean shipping rates, on the other hand, seem to be doing quite well.

Here is the link to the information the CDC is publicizing for comments. Some of them are absolutely stupid. For example:

“What would be the anticipated financial cost of testing all passengers and crew?” How would a normal citizen know that?

“Because reports of illness may lead to restrictions on crew activities, how should cruise ship operators encourage crew members to report mild symptoms of COVID-like illness to medical personnel?” Uh...by talking to the chief medical officer on the ship???

“To what extent and for how long should cruise ship operators reduce passenger capacity?” Hm...a week. No...3.5 weeks. Wait! How about 1.65324 months?

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/07/21/2020-15812/request-for-information-related-to-cruise-ship-planning-and-infrastructure-resumption-of-passenger

No wonder things are such a mess when people like this are in power. Morons.

Quick everyone, sign up for a cruise!

Just be aware that if anyone gets sick it may be a while before you get off that ship.

They’re screwed seven ways from Sunday.

From another FR thread today :

Forbes ^ | Sep 11, 2020,02:00pm EDT | Sep 11, 2020,02:00pm EDT

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease official, told MSNBC on Friday that because of the timeline for manufacturing and distributing a coronavirus vaccine, it will be well into next year before American life returns to normal. "If you're talking about getting back to a degree of normality, which resembles where we were prior to COVID, it's gonna be well into 2021,” Fauci said. “Maybe even towards the end of 2021."

Could you let me know when your next cruise is booked so I can get an idea of how far out these cancellations might go? LOL. -Tom

If you don’t register your ships in the US and pay employees as if they were in the US, to hell with you, go sink.
