The airline industry is promoting new studies that suggest the risk of contracting COVID-19 while flying is low. Let’s take a closer look at the assertions.
The cruise industry this year has doubled the number of lobbyists it employs to target the White House, Congress and numerous federal agencies, disclosures show. Major cruise lines also have presented detailed plans to make ships safer from COVID-19, with recommendations that include sailing initially with fewer passengers, eliminating food buffets and requiring face masks and some virus testing onboard.
That view has led the White House to clash with CDC cruise ship experts and overrule them in some cases. Pence’s decision last month to override the recommendation to extend the ban to February was first reported. The White House task force intervened similarly last spring to shorten an extension proposed by the CDC, according to three people familiar with the matter.
It’s unclear when cruise lines will return to filling ships with passengers again at U.S. ports, despite the end of the no-sail order. Cruise lines had already voluntarily halted cruises until Saturday and canceled many cruises that had been planned for the rest of this year. Carnival recently said that “November 2020 operations will not be feasible” but that there’s solid demand for bookings next year.
The CDC has made clear that cruises are a long way from being safe from the coronavirus. As of Sept. 28, 124 cruise ships, or 82% of the U.S. fleet, had suffered COVID-19 outbreaks, killing at least 41 people and sickening 3,689, the CDC said last month. And recent cruises in other countries suffered outbreaks despite implementing the same measures U.S. cruise lines are proposing.
IDIOTS!!!!!!! COVIDIOTS
So we can now guess with great accuracy that the Trumps have stock in this industry as well now.
Ugh. Gross.
Infections in the US are rising. This is insanity.
That’s exactly what we need .
How?! We’ve made absolutely no progress on covid. 50,00+ people on one packed ship is the last place I want to be
This is such a horrible idea...
The old CDC would not have permitted this. Covid is raging in other countries too and this is another recipe for disaster.
The name of the ship is the Titanic right ?
So what your sayin is the lawyers have sorted out the needed waivers and agreements for both passengers and employees.
You spelled COVID ships wrong.
Stupid.
They will have to pay me to go...

Death ship.
What kind of offer would a need to take a cruise during this pandemic? 🤔
Just a thought: - taking in to account the huge second wave ripping through Europe and with +-50,000 new US daily infections & +- 1000 US daily deaths do you think someone with an agenda may have possibly 'influenced' the CDC to make that non scientific decision!!!
Mygypsytoes What country will let you get off the ship? Americans are banned almost all around the world.
Gives a new meaning to 'Taking your life in your own hands'
Anyone who is going to post negative comments under Cruise Lines reopening news has to stay home and do not go outside, to grocery store, pharmacy, bank, airport etcetera. Avoid any contact with anyone at any cost. Cruise Lines do COVID - 19 passengers and crew tests. Masks etc.
Maga death cruises. I’m in favor. 🐑💀👍🏼
Welcome Tonight
selfdeclaredref Now they are just trolling us ALL with confusion and contradictions. What’s the blame game for this move? Timing is a risky move.
selfdeclaredref Oh well now that the cdc has given permission.
Where would you go. Sit on a ceasepool in the ocean
Covid cases just hit a record 97,088 today. Great timing CDC! All aboard the Covid of the Seas!
Now? We are at 100k new cases a day.
And when they get sick at sea it will cause the same nightmare as before.
And yet CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IS LOW!!!
Nope
Just like the CDC, the EPA is looking out for US.
There is POWER in the Blood of JESUS and in Repentance and Holiness ExpressFridayVigil
From the ships' decks in the L.A. port you can see all the closed schools.
👌 more deaths to follow.
selfdeclaredref Wait were they all still out there from March?
If there’s one thing we can do without , it’s cruises. The pandemic should just be the writing in the walk that cruises suck.
Deals?
Disaster
A disaster in a making ....crazy right in middle of a second wave way to go!! 😱😱😱 if you love your life don't go in a cruise this time will be worse than last time (I say this and I love travelling )

And, no thanks.
Pass!🤮
