Creator's Key Takeaways

i am happy to say that the cdc has actually dialed it back they have made some changes already and i think that these are good indications that hopefully more changes are to come

the odyssey of the seas will be canceled in israel and that the cruise ship will be heading back shortly to port canaveral in the united states

we actually booked both i know that's almost not even a decision but we did we booked both but they are at the same time so i cannot actually do both

YouTube Video Description

Huge cruise news and updates as the CDC Conditional Sail Order has had some BIG changes! In addition, this has been a big week for major cruise updates as cruise lines have announced more cruise cancellations, including some that were unexpected. In this video we talk about the latest news about Alaska, CDC requirements for cruise passengers and Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas (and what's happening). CDC has updated the Conditional Sailing Order and has now issued new guidance for vaccinated passengers and some cruises that will restart in the US. This includes changes to the rule for masks on cruises, shore excursions, testing passengers before embarkation and disembarkation. We also go over some very good news in the new rules from CDC which is about Back to Back cruises. Have you been wondering about test cruises and when they will happen, and how? We go over some cruise information in this video. Alaska has been in the news and it looks like Alaska cruises just might happen in 2021! Here is the video by Alanna Zingano that I talked about in the video, about test cruises (with Carnival and Royal Caribbean): https://youtu.be/XufXhW0uta0 I hope you enjoy this latest discussion about the cruise news as we wait for an announcement from cruise lines that the first cruises from the USA will resume. *Business inquiries and collaborations, please contact Ilana at lifewellcruised@gmail.com RESOURCES I RECOMMEND *SAVING MONEY ON A CRUISE/FINDING CRUISE DEALS* If you are interested in knowing more about saving money on cruises, finding the best deals, and much more, I highly recommend this course, "Cruising for Less" by my friend and cruise blogger, Emma from Emma Cruises. It covers a lot of information usually reserved for travel agents and offers life time access (to updates). You can check out the course here: https://cruising-isn-t-just-for-old-p......
