Canada just closed its borders for a year, which will drastically curb cruising in Alaska and New England by depriving the foreign flagged cruise ships a stop required before returning to the USA. This is a big blow to the Cruise lines operating out of the USA.

There will be no help from the BIDEN group, Green New Deal activists, and Environmental groups who now have control of the Presidency, Senate, House and the Press. Cruising is way down on the list now.

The happy talk about cruising is starting to fade and the cruise writers are starting to write about it.-Tom

My sister-in-law and I have been wanting to take a small ship cruise to the Great Lakes, were hoping to do it right after Labor Day. Since the ships all go into Canada, I would imagine those cruises are cancelled too?

Sailing with masks and idiotic protocols doesn’t sound too fun.

More governmental trashing of entire industries and ruining countless livelihoods.

rnold Donald, the Carnival Corporation CEO, said that the cruise lines are still waiting for further instructions on how to perform these test voyages.
________________________________________

That 40 page CSO was announced Oct 30...it must have taken the CDC months to develop...100 days on and they havent explained how the cruise lines are to accomplish much of the directive...

The required equipment must have been hard to purchase since its the same that hospitals are using for their virus patients but they have managed get them...and extended boo coo funds rebuilding parts of every ship to fulfill the demands of the CDC...

If it wasnt for the test cruises they could have been back sailing again...

The CDC kept moving the goal posts for months ...I hope there are very big lawsuits ...Id join a passenger one...

What some little gods in the CDC are doing to these companies and the American economy and workers has to be illegal...

It has already cost the state of Florida tens of BILLIONS of dollars...

I’m afraid that the cruise line industry is done.

sigh. I need a vacation from the dreary pandemic. A place where I can cruise, eat, drink, dress well, sunbathe, participate in art auctions. Jonesing.

I believe we can cruising goodbye maybe forever, but at least until/unless the Green freaks aren’t running the show. They’ve always been after planes and ships, and now they’re in charge.

My sis was pig-piled on when she posted something similar on some cruise related FB site.

I have Gypsy Fever, aka Wanderlust. I’m hot with fever!

I don’t like long distance driving, and my bad feet don’t look forward to walking around an Airport.
I’m even thinking about The Greyhound, first time in X number of decades. Gov. Brown’s Smart Train doesn’t go anywhere but Dulls-ville Blvd.

Seeing as I never went Horseback Riding, my mode of travel will probably be Amtrack.

Biden will give them a bailout. Hunter will suddenly have his art work in massive demand on the ships
