2021 Will be the Restart of Cruising!

November 2020- Cruise lines are already getting their ships and crews together. They will be starting meeting the American requirements of test cruises, most of them in January 2021. While we dont know how long it will take the CDC to approve the test results and certify ships, we expect Passenger-carrying cruises to begin the the second quarter of 2021. Hopefully it will be sooner is a vaccine is truly approved and available to the cruising public. Carnival Corp has to certify that all of it ships also meet the court-ordered environmental requirements, and it is not clear if that includes all of the Carnival brand ships that sail from the US (HollandAmerica, Princess, Crystal, Cunard, Seabourn and Carnival).
