7 CRUISE UPDATES TO CELEBRATE? MOSTLY! July Restart? CDC USA Progress? FCC? Vaccines? & More
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides several updates regarding the cruise industry, beginning with a clarification that the CDC has not issued a no-sail order through September 2021, contrary to previous misinformation from the U.S. State Department. This clarification is accompanied by data showing a significant increase in ships actively working within the CDC framework, with 66 vessels currently engaged, led largely by Carnival Corporation. The report also highlights MSC Cruises' successful resumption of Mediterranean sailings and the appointment of MSC's executive chairman as the new global chairman of CLIA. Regarding consumer flexibility, the creator notes that some lines, such as Royal Caribbean, are now allowing passengers to combine multiple future cruise credits for a single booking. Additionally, the acquisition of Azamara by Sycamore Partners is presented as a positive development for the brand. However, the video also addresses more difficult news, including specific ship-by-ship cancellations from Carnival that extend into late 2021 and the cautious outlook from Port Canaveral regarding July restarts. Finally, the creator discusses the current landscape of vaccination requirements, noting that while Saga Cruises requires them, other lines have not yet made definitive decisions, though testing will likely remain a standard protocol.
