CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has unveiled new coronavirus guidelines for the cruise industry, allowing cruise lines to operate under different tiers based on the vaccination status of passengers and crew as part of a voluntary program.
And those tiers could change how long passengers are recommended to quarantine after exposure to the coronavirus.
In its updated guidelines Feb. 9, the CDC maintained it’s best to “avoid” cruise travel — and cautioned people should be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 if they can’t resist a vacation on the high seas.
