Happy Sunday! We hope you are having a great weekend and ready to talk a little Royal Caribbean.
Earlier this week, Royal Caribbean pulled the plug on its 2020 Alaska, Hawaii and Canada cruises, following a decision by Canada to ban cruise ships through the end of October.
Royal Caribbean indicated itineraries touching on a Canadian port through October 2020 are suspended.
Without the ability to visit Canadian ports, Royal Caribbean cruises cannot legally offer sailings because of U.S. cabotage laws that require foreign-flagged vessels leaving from a U.S. port of call to first call on a "distant foreign port" before returning to the United States.
