PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. – Port Canaveral officials are revising their financial projections for the current budget year to reflect the possibility that multiday cruises will not resume until July because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The cruise industry has been shut down in the United States since March 2020 because of the pandemic that triggered a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no-sail order. Cruise lines are working on restart plans that will meet the CDC’s “framework for conditional sailing” announced in October that replaced the no-sail order, News 6 partner Florida Today reported.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, my wife and I have been laying low. Our ages and autoimmune issues put us squarely in the highest at-risk category. We wear masks and maintain social distancing whenever we go out in public, mostly to the H-E-B, the gas pump, and the closest P. Terry’s Burger Stand drive-through.
At the same time, we both have been itching to get out and get away. We’re travelers at heart. But it seems like almost every time we’ve contemplated going somewhere during the past year, we get tripped up pondering a stay at a hotel or Airbnb: strange bed, strange room, thoroughness of disinfection unknown.
