rcrdale Posted October 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I know the CSO originally stated no cruises longer than 7 days. We have a 12 night cruise coming up in December. I know we are all patiently waiting to see what happens with the CSO in the next week. My question is, I have seen where some people have said the 7 day rule was taken out of the CSO. I can’t find anything on that. Is the CSO still limiting cruises to 7 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 25, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2021 A 12 night cruise where? The CSO doesn't apply if the ship doesn't touch a US port. The CSO is still in effect for cruises touching US ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the Conditional Sail Order expired on/about November 1, 2020 and was replaced by a Framework for Conditional Sailing which allowed a phased-in return to cruising. Last I heard, Florida sued the CDC and in one round won a preliminary injunction against the CDC imposing restrictions. Where that court battle currently is I do not know. However, I do remember that, throughout all this, cruise lines were able to seek exemptions from imposed itinerary time limits. You could certainly contact some newspapers or TV channels in Swamplandia or search their archives online to find the official current status. But, IMO, I doubt your cruise will be cancelled for that particular issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Viking Ocean returned to US Waters this month, they started with a 15-day R/T, which sailed on Oct 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 25, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Celebrity is running 10 day cruises; Many are booking B2B cruises. Once vaccines became available the 7 day limit disappeared. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammajamma2013 Posted October 25, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'm on a 10 day Princess cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale November 20 if that helps with your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrdale Posted October 26, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Got my answer today from the CDC announcement that the updated CSO as of today, does away with the 7 day limit. So I guess we will be good to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
