Cruise Update
CDC downgrades its travel alert on cruise ships to Level 3
Level 3 signifies a destination with a "high level of Covid-19," and advises that travelers ensure they are fully vaccinated before traveling and that unvaccinated people avoid nonessential travel.
The CDC upped the health notice to Level 4 in December, as the Covid-19 omicron variant began to sweep the country.
