It looks like the CDC will get some judicial help in stifling a cruise lines attempt to do cruises this year.

Carnival is the largest Cruise line, and has now after scraping and selling some of them, about 100 cruise ships around the world.

Sixty days is a long time to be idle from a US port at this state of the Covid shutdown game.

In less than 2 weeks the CDC can shut down all cruising from the USA for months,-stay tuned. -Tom

Judges like this are why appeals courts exist.

Yup. Slick Willy judge.

from Carnival Corp. :October 12, 2020 Carnival Cruise Line Cancels Miami and Port Canaveral Cruises for November 2020.
Carnival Cruise Line has notified guests and travel agents that it is cancelling the remaining cruises for the six total ships operating from Port Miami and Port Canaveral for November 2020.

Tom here- I wonder if the Judge didn't send the message to Carnival that you aren't going anywhere that she plans to hold the cruise line to the parameters of its probation, meaning the company must certify that every ship is compliant 60 days before setting sail again in U.S. waters.

If Carnival met that standard right now, this minute, they would not be able to cruise until late December. (if our CDC doesn't stop them )

What a predicament for the Cruise Lines, and all the unemployed workers directly and indirectly involved. -Tom

A Clintoon Judge no less.. She cares so much about the environment, she’s willing to kill industries.
