Carnival Cruise Line brand ambassador John Held shared hopes for resuming shorter cruises in November. Norwegian Cruise Line reiterated that their suspension remains in place until the end of October 2020 but expressed optimism for a near-future relaunch. Finally, the video highlights that Costa Cruises has resumed sailing from Italy, implementing strict health protocols such as online check-ins, health screenings, and mandatory mask wearing in public areas. While Costa is opening bookings to Europeans, the creators note that UK government travel advice currently makes insurance difficult for British travelers.
