The Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) program on tracking COVID cases on cruises in the U.S. is now “no longer in effect” according the the CDC’s Website.

Since the pandemic started cruises were not the best place to be when it comes to getting away from COVID outbreaks. As vaccinations and proper protocol were put into place, numbers began to shrink, and things started to come back to normal.

We have taken another step in that cruise lines now have their own freedom with what COVID protocols they would like to implement if any at all.

CDC spokesperson Kristen Norlund said “Individual cruise lines will determine their own specific COVID-19-related requirements for cruise travel, as well as safety measures and protocols for passengers traveling on board based on CDC recommendations for reducing the risk of COVID-19.”

While cruising does carry a risk of transmitting COVID, travelers are now allowed to do so at their own risk.
