I dunno, the fact that they have a whole section on "if you do on a cruise ship during the Covid-19 pandemic" suggest they may just be warning against it but allowing it.I don't think the order will be lifted. The CDC just updated their site last week on cruises.

CDC recommends that travelers defer all cruise travel worldwide.
I believe that statement has been there for months and just the date was updated. At least that is what I have heard.I don't think the order will be lifted. The CDC just updated their site last week on cruises.

Oh well, I guess it is just a tossup whether they extend tomorrow or not. Who knows really.you're right
True, but both of those countries could care less about the economic implications of their decisions. I don't think that thinking will apply to what happens out of our ports.No idea if this is an indication of what may happen but Princess cancels cruises departing from New Zealand and Australia through the end of May 2021. Both nations have a much better covid-19 record than the U.S.

DCL hasn't been starting to call back staff, so I really think December is unlikely. For shipboard staff, they need to get them to Florida, test them, quarantine them, then test them again. Assuming some hiccups in the process, you really are looking at 30-45 days to get a ship to minimum acceptable crew for a passenger journey between getting them to PC, and doing proper process to make sure one CM coming in hot doesn't infect half your incoming CM pool.Oh well, I guess it is just a tossup whether they extend tomorrow or not. Who knows really.
Regardless, I can’t see DCL resuming sailings any time soon (December seems pretty unlikely, but who knows—Disney certainly is ramping up park operations for
the holiday season).
More European nations shutting down today. Not sure how we can escape the situation since our covid numbers are worse.True, but both of those countries could care less about the economic implications of their decisions. I don't think that thinking will apply to what happens out of our ports.
I mean... but as a purely factual matter, in the U.S. things are opening up more (whether they should or not, different question). Florida recently removed mask mandate and restrictions on restaurants. My kids' school just reopened last week even though our statistics right now are WORSE than they were at ANY prior point in time. The World Series just took place despite a positive Covid-19 case of one of the players (who then returned to field to celebrate after the positive test).Given that the virus is surging across the country and in Europe, I don't see anything opening up more anytime soon.
This is sad but all true. My school said they would close when we get above a certain amount and we did and now they changed the goal posted.I mean... but as a purely factual matter, in the U.S. things are opening up more (whether they should or not, different question).

Again not saying any of this is logical or safe, just saying that in America right now, the question of whether to open up more is not really being tied to virus statistics in any coherent way.
