Universal mask wearing, physical distancing, Covid-19 testing and increasing fresh air into ventilation systems could allow cruising in the US to return before the end of 2020

.

Cruising out of US ports is currently banned through a No Sail Order from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention until at least October 31. Cumulative CDC data from March 1 through July 10, 2020 showed a total of 2,973 Covid-19 or Covid-like illness cases on cruise ships, in addition to 34 deaths. Eighty percent of ships within US jurisdiction were affected during the time frame, according to the data.Testing will be the starting point for the new cruising normal, with all guests tested prior to embarkation with additional temperature checks throughout the voyage.

Carnival's Donald said there could be modifications to some cabins, to create additional isolation rooms, but there would be"no fundamental reconstruction of the ships or anything." "The health and safety protocols are put in place for the benefit of every single person," MSC Cruises representative Luca Biondolillo

As for when US cruising could realistically resume, CLIA suggests the end of 2020 has not been ruled out.

This is pure rubbish

I shudder to think what will be passed around from one passenger to the other. Under normal circumstances, hundreds of people on these monstrosities get sick. Add COVID-19 and disaster awaits.

No, people were sick on these cruises before COVID and this is not going to work, wait till after a vaccine is available.

Yeah. Crewships. This one just uses 250,000 liters (66,000 gallons) of fuel per day (Great! Let's support that! Definitely needed!

100% DUMB idea!!

6%!

E o cuzinho lavado com água de malvas

Oh come on, you did not do all you could to reduce the infection n death rates with masks, distance etc. And now you want people to pack into sardine can for further infection just like how Trump packs the rallies. Mind-blowing!!! Do your job!

I wouldn’t go on a cruise before COVID and now that COVID has happened, it’s a guarantee that I couldn’t even be paid to take a cruise. They always have trouble with Norovirus, ppl are supposed to trust they have COVID figured out?

Carnival is rebranding as Darwin Cruise Lines.

I’m excited to go cruising again.

nobody's game.

If I were mid Pacific, hanging onto driftwood and a cruise ship showed up, I'd probably say 'no thanks matey, I'll take my chances with these sharks . . . better odds'

No thanks.

Wouldn’t go if I had to wear a useless mask. What fun would that be?

Perfect timing. Right after the election. Is this what it's all been about all this time?

They’ve learned nothing

Yeah.....not-so-much.

It’s a no for me

I love going on cruises. Went this January. But..........Its gonna be a while before i go again. But one day!

It does nothing to stop sick people from getting sick.

Hard pass ! I won’t be getting on a cruise anytime soon.

Sounds like fun. Maybe put everyone in those big hamster bubbles and no only can they keep distant but it serves as a flotation device.

Physical distancing on a ship🤦‍♀️

Nope

I love cruises, but this ain't gonna work.

I mean, you’d have to be crazy...

Who wants to cruise with a mask on? Sorry but no thanks.

Oh fun🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nope. Not boarding the SS Petri Dish.

Cruise ships weren't safe before Covid-19 & then most definitely aren't safe now. You couldn't pay me to get me on one.

😂

Yeah, I still wouldn't do it. I'll wait. I'll wait until a trustworthy & reliable vaccine is developed. Too chancy 4 my taste.

Oh hell no. Didn't want to go on a cruise before Covid. Definitely wouldn't now

Oh stop it those bacteria vessels had issues long before Covid-19 it's like literally being trapped in an elegant rats nest!

No thanks...will wait to go on any vacation when I don’t have wear the damn mask or do social distancing 🙄

RBG will be the 1st woman to lie in state of capital

Oh God no.

No, and hell no. Even before covid-19 there were numerous cases of other illnesses on these cruises.

Not me

U.S. nears grim milestone of 200,000 COVID-19 deathsThe United States, on a weekly average, is now losing about 800 lives each day to the virus, according to a Reuters tally. During the early months of the pandemic, 200,000 deaths was regarded by many as the maximum number of lives likely to be lost in the United States to the virus. On Monday, U.S. 450,000 Americans die each year from smoking related illnesses. No outrage. No banning of tobacco. Oh, that’s right. The tobacco lobby pays Congress to let those people die. I guess those 450k dads and Grandma’s aren’t as important as the COVID ones. catalishus2 The Trump Regime has not only corrupted the CDC, they have utterly and permanently destroyed its credibility. Every single scientist at CDC that has a shred of integrity should resign today. CDCgov Yahoo why do u post all your anti Trump false propaganda on your news webpage and not let anyone comment?
