Operative words

Port Canaveral is at normal operations and continuing to closely monitor the COVID-19 developing situation. Yesterday's decision by cruise lines to voluntarily and temporarily suspend cruise ship operations from U.S. ports will have profound impact, especially for a cruise port like ours. As the world's second busiest cruise port, we are working cooperatively with our cruise partners to coordinate our efforts and help meet their operational and berthing needs.

Enforcement

None (statement); the CDC No Sail Order of Mar. 14, 2020 and its extensions (FED-A) carried the force of law

Notes

Service announcement graded context: the port authority's own contemporaneous statement of the 'profound impact' of the cruise cessation that the CDC No Sail Order made mandatory the same day.
