ORLANDO, Fla. — The coast is clear as far as cruise lines, COVID-19 and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is concerned.
The CDC on Wednesday officially removed any level of travel warning for cruises, which means the federal agency no longer considers it a risky venture to catch the virus, although cases are still a possibility on board.
“While cruising will always pose some risk of COVID-19 transmission, travelers will make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings,” said CDC spokesperson Nick Spinelli in an email.
