Homeland Security and the CDC are finalizing new restrictions expected to keep cruise ship passengers and crew arriving in the US from boarding domestic commercial flights, according to a person briefed on the matter and an administration official.

The restrictions would apply even to people not showing symptoms and also would require 14-day quarantines for cruise passengers and crew. While officials are working on the new protocols, they have not been finalized, according to the sources.The administration official said these new protocols would likely be agreements between cruise ship companies and the government, requiring that they be followed in order for these ships to dock at specific ports.

If adopted, the new restrictions would limit cruise passengers and crew to flying on charter aircraft. One of the first ships that would be affected by the new rules, if implemented, would be one operated by Princess Cruises.A spokesperson for Carnival Corporation told CNN,"Princess Cruises is working around the clock to arrange small group charters and individual car transport for its U.S.
