Well- that solves my problem! Thanks everyone!!

CDC has a "misapplied"  authority for this particular industry.  They don't control the airline, hotel/resort or other industries.  But cruise lines sit in their laps because legislators never took the time (until now) to see where regulatory control should lie.  CDC is definitely a stake holder, but do not hold expertise on maritime operations or overall safety.  The proposed legislation from the FL senators can right the ship on this.   

OK so i tried to type a bunch of responses without hitting the "political" filter and cant find any that work .... so lets just say $##^&^&^%*&^%(*(%***$%&^^#& and leave it at that.
Anyone pushing to get cruises back in business is doing the right thing in my book.

Have to agree with @twangster I COMPLETELY understand the dangers of COVID 19, but also understand that it is not as deadly as they first thought it was.  I also know that cruising can resume with certain things in place where it will be safer than going to the local Walmart.  I know that they will clean the surfaces far more than grocery stores do.  I know that they will also be more inclined to enforce social distancing as well.  I have no worries that they can and will do the right thing for their customers, there are too many cameras and people that are  going to be pointing the finger.  The cruise industry as a whole has way too much to loose! 

Off all the questionable things for Congress to probe, why this?  
 

Thank you! We decided that for the money we would do the beach club instead of the bed. Drink service and lunch not to far away!

I'd rather cruise with some restrictions in the meantime than wait until everything is back to normal. Who knows if that will ever happen.

We signed up for this- can't wait to experiment. When I go to get sushi, I am usually too chicken to try anything new on my own. ? 

Well- that solves my problem! Thanks everyone!!

I got this idea for this thread from a private group so I thought I start one here.
Post your favorite food porn here.
I'll start with a Coastal Kitchen Caesar Salad and Filet.


 
Yum.
Your turn.

I bring my own, i see people starring at me and just know they are envious of my fine dining cuisine! ?

 
Don't judge me! I don't judge you while you're eating them snails.

Right now, I don't care where I eat lunch just so long as I am ON THAT SHIP!!!

I would love to see a separate "international" section in the menu which changes each night, highlighting a couple of dishes, to celebrate and recognize the many cultures that work tirelessly on the ship.

Something local to the region you're sailing! I still feel sad that there was no key lime pie when we stopped at Key West! Or meatballs when in Sweden....

Well- that solves my problem! Thanks everyone!!

On Oasis class ships the UDP covers drinks up to $13.  We never had to pay extra for anything we ordered on Symphony.
