Good news indeed. Happy to see some progress for the cruise industry.

But I'll agree with J&K that I still wouldn't book one of them. Living in central FL I'm OK with just driving to the port for a cruise. But having to fly to Nassau or St Martin right now just turns me off.

Also, I'm not a fan of Nassau and normally don't even get off the ship there. Can't see any reason to fly there just to ge on a ship.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cozumel will become a "new" departure port in the next couple of months. The mayor there is already lining up resources to test the market.

There is a high speed water ferry from Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas, but I don't think it stops at Nassau. Otherwise, that would be an option to get there directly.

Add Bermuda to the RC sailings.

Meanwhile, NCL has submitted plans to the CDC to resume U.S. based sailing in July with fully vaccinated guests and crew. I expect bookings to skyrocket today. If I was a travel agent, I would be sounding the horn.
