Canada is extending a ban on large cruise ships to Oct. 31 to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Transport Minister Marc Garneau said on Friday.

Cruise ships with overnight capacity for more than 100 crew and passengers will not be allowed to operate in Canadian waters at least until November, Garneau said in a news conference. The ban on large cruise ships, many of which were hit by COVID-19 outbreaks, began in March.

Don’t do anything just yet.  That ‘announcement’ was made last May and refers to October, 2020.

Agree...this is a very old post, particularly in the Covid world. I would definitely be checking for much more current info. Not saying it will definitely change things, but basing your decision on this old post is shaky, at beast.
