The New Unrealistic CDC Rules Everyone is Talking About

The CDC has a lot of explaining to do! In the new guidelines released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the agency speaks about some measures that will restrict, eliminate, and hinder many of the things that cruise fans hold dear.

I'm seeing some older rules, from when cruise lines hadn't been shut down completely yet. I'm also seeing a new rule about masks that was implemented just 2 days ago.

At least not that I've been able to see on the CDC website under news.

Here's the CDC's page, the top new thing dated May 5 is to say that there are new guidelines that allow cruise ships to start simulated voyages, to test out the mechanics of getting everyone sailing again.

Cruise Ship Guidance
| Quarantine | CDC

If you follow the various links, you learn that all the OTHER rules were implemented when people were still totally unprotected on ships, and some cruiselines were still taking no precautions at all.

I'm not finding anything new other than the guideline for the simulated voyages (which means - not actual voyages).

Convince the governor of that. He has FORBIDDEN cruiselines from requiring vaccinations.

Didn't the industry threaten to leave Florida ? Lots of money.

Maybe loading in North Carolina or somewhere.

I guess that means only the people who approach the situation with cautious optimism will be even trying to cruise. I'm good with that.

Since the cruise lines are not US corporations does he even have the power to do this?

But he cannot stop the cruise lines from pulling their ships to other stateside ports or close by islands.

Take a minute and contact his office.
I have....and expect no response...consistent with past attempts on other issues.

"Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings is threatening to keep its ships out of Florida after the governor signed legislation banning businesses from requiring that customers show proof of vaccination against COVID-19."

And can you back up the claim that only a minor trusts the CDC? Because I looked around and can find NO evidence of that.

The assumption of negative intent does nothing to help convince anyone.

It doesn’t seem unrealistic to me to take extra precautions when lots of people are trapped on a floating Petri dish.
