Is the cruise industry coming back? After more than 2 years under a COVID cloud, the answer is yes.
- Cruise lines are seeing higher demand and fleets are ramping back up.
- Many passengers feel safe cruising, but some have had bad experiences.
- Travelers can take steps to prepare for cruising by following CDC guidance.
In late May, I was set to sail on MSC Cruises’ MSC Divina from Cape Canaveral, Florida. I had to wait nearly two hours to board.
Lines are back. There are fewer free lounge chairs on the decks and the wait for a cocktail at the bar is a little longer.
