Lots of big cruise news in this week’s Cruise Tips TV Unplugged podcast
Today, we’re covering this week’s big cruise news developments in the cruise travel industry. From the no sail order update to Princess cruises new ship, we’ll fill you in. We’ll start with an update on the CDC no-sail order.
White House Intervenes in Cruise Ship Ban
The CDC Director, Robert Redfield was reportedly overruled today in the White House situation room.
Axios is reporting that Redfield suggested extending the No-Sail Order through February 2021, because of the virus’ severity and the vulnerability for spread on cruises.
However, Vice President Mike Pence, who was running the meeting, told Redfield that they would be “proceeding with a different plan”, according to two task force members. That different plan appears to be, at first, extending the Cruise Ship Ban just one month past it’s slated expiration date, through October, 2020.
Other cruise news topics covered in the podcast include:
- More Carnival cruise cancellations
- Enchanted Princess Joins Fleet
- Princess add a ship to the west coast
- Rotterdam Reaches Next Building Milestone

Hi Sheri, this is Farren from Miami! I took my in-laws on a quick 3 night cruise on the NCL Getaway. I was lying in bed watching the cabin TV and all of sudden I see Sheri from my favorite podcast on the web. I yelled to my wife there is Sheri…. She said who the heck is Sheri! :) It seems like NCL uses your face on various marketing on the ship….. To say the least I was very happy to see you…. As always you and your family are just a delight…… Keep up the amazing work….. Miami loves CruiseTipsTV Farren from Miami!
