which required all cruise ships to suspend operations.
That order was extended and tweaked as the
COVID-19 pandemic went on. Now, cruise ships are
allowed to set sail again, but with a number of
COVID-caused rules and restrictions.

cruise ships if you decide to sail this summer.

required in public
spaces, at events
and during shows.
