I'm hopeful that maybe we might see some movement soon on the CDC's ban on cruising. I'm seeing some cruise lines posting their extensive plans for the return to cruising. Virgin just released their updates which can be seen here - "Voyage Well: A new wave of health measures before we set sail".
It's still quite puzzling to me why the CDC singled out cruises the way they have. While other industries are reopening, (Amusement Parks, Tourist attractions, movie theaters, etc) the cruise lines remain shut down by the CDC. That's not to mention the airline industry which was never addressed by the CDC even though I would think they are more responsible for the global spread of this disease than any other industry.
As pointed out by the one of my favorite blogs, The Royal Caribbean Blog, even Wall Street doesn't understand the CDC's bias against the cruise industry - "Wall Street: CDC to blame for cruises not resuming sooner".
