$RCL Видел тут много паники. На всякий случай, скину сюда один материал, может кто ещё не видел. P.S. Не стоит так сильно паниковать 😉 Часть 1 LONG POST BUT WORTH A READ MYTH - “ALL CRUISE HAVE BEEN CANCELED UNTIL NOVEMBER!!" - SIMPLY NOT THE CASE HERE ARE THE FACTS So many cruisers are panicking from what the press had to say yesterday about the CDC and their comment about their Conditional Sailing Order ( CSO ). Let me see if I can get the facts laid out for you and hopefully we can avoid any misconception. Yesterday, the industry’s association, Cruise Lines International Association, CLIA, wrote to the Center For Disease Control, CDC, and ask that they amend their CSO, that was put in place for one year, back in November, 2020. As a member of CLIA, I have been following this closely. To set the stage, here is the press release from the CDC back in late October 2020, which stated “ Today the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a Framework for Conditional Sailing Order that introduces a phased approach for the safe and responsible resumption of passenger cruises. The Order establishes a framework of actionable items for the cruise line industry to follow so they can resume passenger operations with an emphasis on preventing the further spread of COVID-19 on cruise ships and from cruise ships into communities, and to protect public health and safety. The Order applies to passenger operations on cruise ships with the capacity to carry at least 250 passengers in waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction.” “This framework provides a pathway to resume safe and responsible sailing. It will mitigate the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks on ships and prevent passengers and crew from seeding outbreaks at ports and in the communities where they live,” says CDC Director Robert R. Redfield, M.D. “CDC and the cruise industry have a shared goal to protect crew, passengers, and communities and will continue to work together to ensure that all necessary public health procedures are in place before cruise ships begin sailing with passengers.” “ During the initial phases, cruise ship operators must demonstrate adherence to testing, quarantine and isolation, and social distancing requirements to protect crew members while they build the laboratory capacity needed to test crew and future passengers. Subsequent phases will include simulated (mock) voyages with volunteers playing the role of passengers to test cruise ship operators’ ability to mitigate COVID-19 risk, certification for ships that meet specific requirements, and return to passenger voyages in a manner that mitigates COVID-19 risk among passengers, crew members, and communities.” Royal Caribbean and all cruise lines supported this approach at the time. Quoting the chair of the Healthy Sail Panel commissioned by Royal Caribbean and another cruise line - “CDC and the cruise industry have the same goal: A return to passenger sailing, but only when it’s safe. Under the CDC’s Framework for Conditional Sailing Order, cruise lines have been given a pathway to systematically demonstrate their ability to sail while keeping passengers, crew and their destination ports safe and healthy,” said former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, co-chair of the Healthy Sail Panel. Yesterday, CLIA released the following press release: WASHINGTON, DC, March 24, 2021 –CLIA, which represents 95% of global ocean-going cruise capacity, today called on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to lift the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order (CSO) and allow for the planning of a phased resumption of cruise operations from U.S. ports by the beginning of July. The early-July timeframe is in line with President Biden’s forecast for when the United States will be “closer to normal.”
