Q Are cruises going to be banned again, based on CDC advice, and if so for how long do you think?
Angela C, via the latest, Ask Me Anything at independent.co.uk
A My sole experience of cruising – aboard the first voyage to leave the UK once the ban was relaxed last year – was not exactly joyful. The pre-boarding testing regime was onerous. The mask rules not conducive to carefree travel. And the only way to leave the ship at a port of call was on an expensive excursion. So while I do not expect cruises to be banned again by either the UK or US governments, for a while yet only true devotees will want to step aboard.
