Port Canaveral Cruises Likely to Restart in Mid-July
USA Today has reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent a letter to the cruise line industry, including Disney Cruise Line, about possibly letting cruises set sail in Mid-July.

“We acknowledge that cruising will never be a zero-risk activity and that the goal of the CSO’s phased approach is to resume passenger operations in a way that mitigates the risk of COVID-19 transmission onboard cruise ships and across port communities,” said Aimee Treffiletti, head of the Maritime Unit for the CDC.
The letter also said no test cruises would be necessary if 98% of crew members and at least 95% of passengers are vaccinated.
CDC spokesperson Caitlin Shockey gave a more specific timeline. Cruises could begin passenger voyages from the United States in mid-July, depending on cruise lines' pace and compliance with the CDC's Framework for Conditional Sailing Order.
Disney Cruise Line is planning to restart Bahamian cruises from Port Canaveral starting in early August, 2021. I already have special offers posted on the Disney Cruise Line page where travelers can save 25% on fares.
