The day has finally arrived! The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention has revealed the second phase of its “Conditional Sailing Order. Cruise lines now have more details on resuming cruises, and yes, test sailings are set to go ahead.
This comes after growing calls for the CDC to let cruises resume and move to the next phase of the four-phased framework. These technical instructions cover a range of implementations cruise lines will need to sort out so that cruises can resume. How long this will take, remains to be seen.”
The CDC only cares about reducing the virus to the absolute minimum. Given their choice, we’ll be travelling in HAZMAT suits.
