The CDC has been saying soon, imminent, impending, approaching...everyone is tired of their in the stars - just round the corner BS.

Glad to know both my Mayor and my Governor want cruises to resume.  While they take different approaches and are of two different political parties, the end result will most likely be the same -- cruising is on its way back. 

 

Thanks for posting @sandebeach!

It's been coming "soon" for a few months now

[twangster]

Seems like they told the cruise lines it would be any day now about 45 days ago.

 

Any.  Day.  Now.

The grilling the CDC director got during the Senate hearing last week may have nudged things along for real this time.

Didn’t they say last week that the conditional sail order would stay in force until Oct 31?  Also, last week the CDC director said there were multiple federal agencies that would need to be involved in deciding a return to cruising, right?

Correct on both. The CSO allows for cruises to sail, but the CDC has yet to provide the lines the detailed rules (technical guidelines).

Rumor is Friday we're going to hear more about general travel guidelines. Maybe we get lucky and they say something about cruises within that announcement.

It would be nice to get some direction out of the CDC, this has gone on to long. I hope they  know  what other agencies need to be involved.

There are 39 Fridays left in 2021. I wonder which one they'll pick.

That’s correct.  The fact she couldn’t name those agencies, and the fact she posted on Twitter a warning to Americans not to cruise in China (when we can’t even get over there now) shows how clueless she is about the cruise industry.  

 

There is is mounting pressure from many lawmakers on the CDC to get its act together.

Would this new guidance be from the same CDC director that was predicting "impending doom" from Covid earlier in the week?  Maybe the new guidelines will be even more restrictive?

What an embarrassment she has turned out to be in such a short time.

[smokeybandit]

I don't believe it for a second the CDC will announce anything today that will pave the way for cruising by July

I don't believe they will announce anything in the next month that assists the cruise efforts

Yesterday was April Fools day.  Sometimes I feel that Lucy is the CDC, the football is cruises, and we are Charlie Brown...

 

[Mikew0805]

At first, I thought it was another April Fools stunt.... now my hopes are starting to rise... the stress. Think positive Michael.

I have a feeling the new guidelines will be intentionally impossible to meet, in order to continue to keep cruising stalled indefinitely (until November, at least).

I don't think the CDC will do anything.  The emergency health declaration expires this month and the new administration really wants to lift that declaration so they can claim success (thereby neutering the CDC or letting them off the hook depending on your point of view)
