The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a conditional sailing order (pdf) for cruise ships on Oct. 30 that allowed for the resumption of cruise operations.

Although the CDC has allowed for cruises to start operating again, the actual sailing will not be commenced until operation requirements are met.
