Operative words

[CDC] announces this framework for a phased resumption of cruise ship passenger operations... This Order applies to cruise ship operators with cruise ships operating in U.S. waters... [including] (1) Shoreside COVID-19 laboratory testing of all newly embarking crew... an integral part of the initial phases prior to resuming passenger operations

Enforcement

42 U.S.C. § 271; conditional sailing certificates

Notes

No U.S. cruise with passengers sailed until June 2021, and only under CDC conditions thereafter; a preliminary injunction in Florida v. Becerra (M.D. Fla. June 18, 2021) made the CSO non-binding as to Florida-port ships from July 18, 2021, a fact recited in the Oct. 25, 2021 extension.
