COVID-19 has raised many questions for travelers. When will we be able to fly again? When are we going to be allowed into other countries? When can we enjoy visiting a resort without a mask? 

The pandemic has been especially hard for cruise companies, as a handful of cruise ships were forced into lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. This posed two questions: When will cruise companies be able to resume sailing?; and, more importantly, when will cruise passengers feel safe on board ships again?
