Disney Cruise Line is delaying its first test sailing on the Disney Dream, scheduled for Tuesday. after a handful of crew tested positive for COVID.

Celebrity Cruises has adjusted its COVID vaccine requirement for Florida cruises. Passengers will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s restrictions on Florida cruises could be invalidated, according to a Friday court ruling.

Cruises are restarting with CDC health protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Even with vaccines, that doesn’t mean that sailing is risk-free.

Almost 15 months after the CDC shuttered the cruise industry, the agency has adjusted its risk level associated with cruising during COVID-19.

After more than a year without cruising in U.S. waters, cruise ships are slowly receiving approval from the CDC to sail.

Two passengers on the Celebrity Millennium ship carrying vaccinated passengers and crew and some unvaccinated children have tested positive for COVID.

Two passengers on board MSC Cruises’ MSC Seaside ship tested positive for the coronavirus, disembarking in Siracusa, Italy.

Carnival Cruise Line will sail in July with vaccinated passengers from Port of Galveston with Carnival Vista on July 3 and Carnival Breeze on July 15.
