Very half-assed article that omits the key point, which is that the CDC guy wanted to extend the no sail order through the end of Feb 21, but may have to settle for Oct 20.

Myself, I figured he CDC would extend it thru Dec to inflict max damage on the Cruise lines and put RCL into bankruptcy. We still have to wait for the official announcement.

From the article:
A final decision by the White House is set to take place on Friday when cruise industry leaders are set to meet with the Trump administration to discuss the ways they will keep guests and crew safe and implement a safe return of cruises.

In November, cruise lines could then be able to resume operations but with strict new health measures in place just like what’s already happening in Europe with Costa Cruises, MSC Cruises, Aida Cruises, and TUI Cruises. When operations do resume they will likely be with one ship to test the waters and not at full capacity.

Of course, nothing has yet been officially announced and the current No-Sail order is set to end tomorrow. There is hope it will not be extended and cruise lines can resume earlier than expected.

The CDC Is EVIL for BANKRUPTING ALL THESE CRUISE LINES!!
