ScooterScott22 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 This seems moot since most ships do not have passengers so the concern becomes if these recommendations end up remaining in place. There are many interesting items like face masks for all debarking passengers and transport of the sick. Some of it is not bad like masks but chartering flights for everyone seems like a huge issue. “As of April 4, 2020, CDC has updated its recommendations to help US cruise ship travelers get home as quickly and safely as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC is working with partners as part of the Unified Command, including Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, port authorities, local and state health departments, and Department of State, to respond to COVID-19 aboard cruise ships. CDC recommends that cruise ship travelers with no symptoms or mild symptoms disembark as quickly and safely as possible at US ports of entry: Cruise line companies must get travelers directly to their homes via chartered or private transportation. Commercial flights and public transportation may not be used.” https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/cruise-ship/what-cdc-is-doing.html it does have an interesting list of all ships/cruises and reported cases.

ScooterScott22 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 In case anyone wanted to know what the asterisk next to a cruise was about without looking up the article. *CDC was notified about COVID-19-positive travelers who had symptoms while on board these ships. For all other ships, CDC was notified about travelers who had symptoms and tested positive for COVID-19 within 14 days after disembarking. Since these travelers’ symptoms began after the voyage, the traveler might have contracted COVID-19 during the voyage; however, other sources of transmission after the voyage cannot be ruled out.
