Author: Lana HarrisPublished: 3:38 PM EDT May 2, 2021Updated: 6:47 PM EDT May 2, 2021 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Last year, plane travel came to all but a halt amidst the initial outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the United States.

The CDC has given the OK to restart Cruising in 2021
Cruise companies can speed up their restarts in U.S. waters if they guarantee most crew and passengers are vaccinated against COVID-19, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a letter to companies Wednesday night obtained by the Herald — meaning passenger cruises could restart from South Florida in July. If ships can certify that 98% of their crew and 95% of their passengers are vaccinated, they won’t need to do test cruises before restarting passenger operations, the letter said. The CDC estimates that passengers could be boarding cruise ships in U.S. waters as soon as mid-July depending on how quickly cruise companies meet the agency’s requirements. The change to the restart timeline comes after a month of twice-weekly meetings
