CDC Drops Cruise Travel Health Notice

In an unexpected move, the CDC has completely dropped its cruise advisory, which had previously warned Americans against boarding ships during the ongoing pandemic.

According to a report, the decision to drop the advisory entirely for the first time in nearly two years was based on the current state of the pandemic, and a noted decrease in reported cases on ships over the past few weeks.

Holland America Line president responded to the decision by saying “the CDC’s removal of its health notice related to cruise travel is an important step forward in recognizing the work we have done to protect our guests.”

This does not mean that the health protocols put in place by cruise lines have been dropped. For now, vaccines are still required for nearly all passengers.
