CDC No Longer Warning Travelers About Cruise Travel
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped its risk assessment of cruise travel yesterday after more than two years of warning travelers against the dangers of contracting COVID-19 on a cruise.
"CDC is removing the COVID-19 Cruise Ship Travel Health Notice," said spokesperson Dave Daigle.
Travelers can now make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings.
Beginning Jan. 22, a gratuity increase will take effect for all sailings beginning January 23, 2025 or later.
