FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – Here is a list of the current blackout dates for major cruise lines, as well as the earliest dates these cruise lines are expected to resume departures from ports in the United States.
Several cruise companies operating in Europe and Asia resumed service last fall, but suspended them when the number of infections began to rise again. They will start operating again when more people are vaccinated.
As in the previous year, upcoming appointments can be canceled. Travel agents warn consumers not to book unless they understand and accept the cruise company policies for refunds and future cruise credit.
For the latest timetables, prices and cancellation updates, visit the cruise company websites.
