Wow.
Royal Caribbean has extended their suspension of Australia and New Zealand cruises through Dec 31, and China cruises through Oct 31.
Celebrity has also cancelled all Solstice and Eclipse sailings through Dec 31.
The CDC has created a questionnaire about your ideas and opinions about the future of cruising. Questions include everything from refunds to resumption of cruise policies to whether people from high-risk geographic areas for COVID-19 should be denied boarding.
Please take the time to answer! You don't have to answer each and every question, you can also just click on the green "Submit a Formal Comment" button.

Not that it makes a big difference, but at least people who were planning to sail between Sept 15 and Sep 30 know where they stand....
CDC extends No Sail Order for cruise ships through September Cruises from US ports aren't embarking anytime soon. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced an extension of its No Sail Order for cruise ships on Thursday.
Since everyone is just sitting home right now and not going anywhere, it might be a good time to check your passport expiration date. Some countries require that your passport be valid at least six months beyond the dates of your trip. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met. So if you plan to travel again once this nightmare is over, be sure you have 6 months past the RETURN date of your trip!
