Oulton Jim Posted October 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Has the CDC made a decision on what will be happening after the 31st October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrednole Posted October 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2020 October 31st doesn't matter. All cruise lines in the US have canceled until Dec 1. Nothing will happen until after the election. The outcome will determine the next delay. If it goes one way, it will be month-to-month delays. If it goes another, the CDC will shut it down until Feb 15th and reassess from there.

Oulton Jim Posted October 27, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted October 27, 2020 So you are saying that the CDC will make no statement until the election result is done and dusted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iancal Posted October 27, 2020 #6 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I believe that most people, assuming that cruises are operating, will make a go/no go decision on the basis of how comfortable they feel about cruising. Their respective levels of comfort may or may not align with any CDC recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name 1 cruise line that will sail prior to Dec 1? Tell me what meeting or announcement is coming from the CDC before Nov 3? As for month-to-month vs Feb 15th, if you think that is speculation, then you are not too bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the CDC hold expires Oct 31, so an announcement will need to be made before the election. Your theories are based on who wins the election, not on the existing schedule. You will note I didn't personally attack you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare broberts Posted October 27, 2020 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It's been reported that with the current ban extension the CDC had wanted it to extend into Feb 2021 and was overruled by higher authority. If this is so I would not expect a lifting of the ban before next year. It would not surprise me if the CDC did not announce an extension until Nov 4.

Of course, given the new restrictions on travel and gatherings generally being imposed in France, Spain and Italy (among other countries in Europe) in response to the severe upturn in infections, I would not bet heavily on the likelihood that MSC, or other lines, will continue to sail in coming weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope things work out for you - but the way the contagion is spreading - and sailings in November are being cancelled - you may want to keep your options open.

Given that the last extension was not published in the federal register until after close of business on the last day of the order, I don't expect the CDC to announce any further delays until the 31st. And, based on the use of a "request for information" period, which is a requirement before federal regulations change, I would suspect that the requirements of the no sail order will become permanent federal regulations in November. So, while a "no sail" order may not exist past Oct 31st, the requirements which must be met to sail will remain the same.

LocoLoco1 Posted October 29, 2020 #17 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Let’s say the CDC lifts the No-sail order by Nov. of 2020. But what if Mexico, Barbados, Aruba, Japan and ??? say, ‘Not here..’. Round n Round in circles off Miami or Seattle?? Not with me aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to find at least one foreign port willing to accept cruise ships and their passengers in order to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The workers would need much more expensive visas to work that cruise, and the cruise lines are not willing to pay that price.

Not only are work visas more expensive, but the numbers available are limited, there are restrictions on why the foreign worker is needed, and the cruise line basically accepts sponsorship of the worker for the time they are in the US (fiscally and criminally). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
