Happy Sunday! November has arrived, and we hope you had a great week with friends, family, and plenty of food. Each week we summarize all of this week's Royal Caribbean news, just in case you missed any of it.
There is big news, and then there is BIG news, and this week's news was seven months in the making: the CDC has lifted the No Sail order and opened a pathway for cruises to restart.
The CDC announced following the expiration of the No Sail order on October 31, the agency will take a "phased approach to resuming cruise ship operations in U.S. waters."
The Conditional Sailing Order will establish a series of phases and requirements for cruise lines to test out its new protocols and demonstrate they can operate cruises in a safe manner.
