I bet the CDC capitulates. CDC will not do well in courts because facts do not support it’s ban on cruises.
Still hoping my cruise in September will sail. I am totally cruise starved. No cruise for me since February 29, 2020. I am prepared to fly to Jamaica (bad experience last time) to get on a cruise ship.
Excerpt from CDC guide line for cruise operators:
Fully Vaccinated Travelers:
Cruise ship operators, at their discretion, may advise passengers and crew that—if they are fully vaccinated—they may gather or conduct activities outdoors, including engaging in extended meal service or beverage consumption, without wearing a mask except in crowded settings.
