Back in November Carnival Cruise line place a ban on smoking in the Casino. This week they announce the return of smoking but with a few rules. You must be sitting at a table or slot machine activly playing, there is no smoking at the casino bar or when the casino is closed. In addition, a current rule, no smoking anywhere on the ship during refueling. 

Holland America and Princess Cruises both have bans in place through March 31, 2022

CDC Reduces Warning Level For Cruising
This week the CDC moved the warning level from a four back down to a three. At the four, the CDC was recommending no one  cruise at the time due to the Omicran variance. At a level three, they are simply recommending those who are not vaccinated or have compromised immune systems avoid cruising at this time. One thing to remember, this is a recommendation, they are not saying you are unable to cruise, it's still your choice. 

The Cruise Line Association CLIA calls it "a step in the right direction". Cruise Lines have lead the tourism industry in safety measures and protocols. Implementing vaccine requirements, testing and isolation protocols plus the additional clean ship initiatives. To me cruising is one of the safest ways to travel.

    I have a passion for travel and believe travel is about experiences. Experiences create memories and are the stories we tell to friends and family - even with a little fudging on the facts.
    So let me create a vacation you can brag about!
