CDC tells Americans to avoid cruises ‘regardless of vaccination status’ amid COVID-19 surge

CDC raised its travel warning for cruises to the highest level on Thursday

The CDC sounded the alarm on cruises Thursday amid a surge in COVID-19 cases nationwide, raising its travel warning to the highest level and telling Americans to “avoid cruise travel, regardless of vaccination status.”

“The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily between people in close quarters on board ships, and the chance of getting COVID-19 on cruise ships is very high, even if you are fully vaccinated and have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose,” the CDC wrote in its new advisory.

The federal government shut down cruises altogether at the beginning of the pandemic. Then in June, after 15 months of a no sail order, the CDC allowed cruise lines to restart trips under strict conditions.

Several dozen ships are currently being investigated by the CDC due to COVID-19 cases onboard, but the agency does not release the exact number of infections.

    1. the cruise industry ruined itself

      didn’t they want to mandate that everyone had to be shot up? wan’t there was a lawsuit in FL because DeSantis fought the mandate? then they threatened to pull out of FL?

      before the poison shot, their ships were quarantined at sea and were refused the ability to dock?

      it is all just a lie, and how is this any different than gathering at a concert, festival, sports event.

        Those recent outbreaks were on cruise ships with 100% vaccinated people.

        The vaccines are making things much worse!
