After more than a year without cruising in U.S. waters, cruise lines' ships are slowly receiving approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to sail.
But not all approvals are equal.
Some ships are being approved by the CDC to sail with paying passengers while others are being approved to operate test cruises – the main difference being whether the cruise line will require eligible passengers of a specific ship to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
