Do you think this will have an impact on the First “Connie” sailing after coming out of dry dock..?  My TA sent a message to keep an eye on this sailing….

As noted above, Summit's issues should have no bearing on the Connie sailing.  Summit didn't have any time to make it back to Florida with a 14 day wait before its first Florida based cruise, so the first 14 days of Summit cruises went down the drain. 

 

Connie has 2-1/2 months to get from Cadiz to Tampa in time to meet the deadline.  Don't think that will be an issue!  Should be leaving dry dock first thing tomorrow morning if everything is water tight, so to speak.

I sure hope not, those poor people have been through enough stress 🤪

 

This rule is idiotic, I do not see what it accomplishes.

The rule is pretty simple.  Ships sailing outside of US waters do not report their health data to the US.  They are not subject to US inspections.

 

Once a ship enters US waters to cruise from US ports the CDC wants 14 days of data before it will allow passengers on board.

 

This was all defined in their health sail procedures published months ago.
