The CDC ratcheted down the travel health notice for cruising from a Level 4 “very high risk” to a Level 3 “high risk,” but told cruisers to make sure they are “up to date” on their vaccinations—that means booster shots for those who are eligible
. On February 9, the agency not only kept cruising at Level 4 for Covid risk, where it had been since December, but added even more hoops for the industry to jump through.
The CDC’s ship rating system now takes booster shots into consideration, with three tiers for the level of vaccination. “Not highly vaccinated” ships will have less than 95% of passengers and 95% of crew fully vaccinated. “Highly vaccinated” ships will have at least 95% of passengers and 95% of crew fully vaccinated, but have less than that percentage “up to date” with booster shots when applicable.
Though the CDC's Conditional Sail Order expired last month and the latest recommendations are technically “voluntary” for cruise line, most cruise lines adopt recommended measures to reassure cruise passengers that they are doing all they can to keep ships safe from the spread of Covid-19. Cruise lines have until February 18 to opt into the CDC’s updated Covid-19 program.
