PelicanBill Posted November 2, 2020 #157 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Here is a summary of some of the key requirements in the CDC Framework for those who aren't up to reading 40 page PDF documents. I agree with those who suggest it's 60 days for cruise lines to get a few ships and 1 or 2 ports ready - and that's with a rush. Then at least one test cruise before permission will be granted ship by ship. Suggests a few ships could sail in January, then a few more, ... Ships All local port authorities must document approval OR must conduct simulated sailing/restricted passenger sailing Must have onshore medical care agreements with evacuation plan Must have onshore housing plan for quarantine of patients and any close contacts A port agreement limiting number of ships to prevent overburden of local medical resources Keep cabins set aside for isolation Complete all crew protection measures Submit application to conduct simulation sailing and get approval Conduct simulated sailing with adult volunteers with no high risk medical conditions, and all passengers and crew must provide consent, and test a long list of requirements Obtain rapid RT-PCR test equipment for all ships and train staff Following a successful simulation, apply for and receive Conditional Sailing Certificate Must receive a conditioning sailing certificate from CDC Maintain all conditions of certificate and report any deviation within 24 hours 7 day limit for cruises (submit regular EDC reports) Based on a threshold of infection that may change terminate cruise, return to port and cancel further cruises Crew Weekly lab testing and reporting Transfers ship to ship only if sending ship has no cases for 28 days Embarking crew lab tested and quarantined Passengers Must be notified in all marketing materials/website of risk of covid in cruise travel prior to accepting a reservation Lab test on day of embarkation and day of disembarkation and results before allowing passenger to board or leave Additional lab test after day of disembarkation Monitor passengers before boarding Additional testing during cruise Infection Procedures long list of procedures with private non-commercial transportation and housing providers, including notify operations of ground transportation and air transportation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoundForSea Posted November 2, 2020 #158 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Well that answers this thread. We can shut this one down and start a “Will Cruises look good to restart by January?” I was going to book January but at this point Im gonna hold off. Ive got an April and June and September deposited, wanted to go before April but at this point who knows. I walked down the gangway off MSC Merviglia Feb 16th of last year, it may be a year to the day which is just crazy. In other news, a year ago today, we set sail on Encore from Southampton bound for NY with a beautiful new Inaugural ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaman11 Posted November 2, 2020 Author #160 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I dont get all the negativity at last there has been some good news and ppl are downplaying it. There has to be test cruises per the cdc before the real passenger cruises can go. It stands to logic that reg cruises will be canceled for as to allow these test cruises to happen. i expect they will file the paperwork this week. they are not in business to just sit and not do anything when the cdc has given them a path and florida giving them a green light for ports.

Aulanis Posted November 3, 2020 #165 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) I dont know about paperwork but we have just gone into a full lockdown in England and this is .Gov's advice. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advises against cruise ship travel at this time. This is due to the ongoing pandemic and is based on medical advice from Public Health England. Cruise ship travel means staying overnight for at least 1 night on a sea-going cruise ship with people from multiple households. Our advice against cruises applies to international travel on a ship that is exclusively for pleasure or recreation, providing overnight accommodation and other leisure facilities such as entertainment venues or swimming pools. Our advice does not include ferries or privately-rented boats. It is unlikely that any cruising will take place until that changes. Though oddly a smaller ship did pick up 19 passengers a few days back when this advice was still relevant. Going against this advice usually invalidates any travel insurance policy.
