Other's are beginning to notice the CDC's unfair treatment to the cruise lines.

THe  CDC needs to explain why they are no working with the cruise lines.

Harry Curtis, an analyst for Instinet, a branch of the Japanese financial group Nomura, said that while the cruise industry has been developing health protocols, the CDC has been unwilling to engage in a dialogue with the industry. 

“The issue is not that the industry has been passive in developing health protocols. Quite the contrary. In our view, the hurdle lies with the CDC’s unwillingness to discuss, debate and mutually implement the highest standards of passenger and crew healthcare,” Curtis stated.

“The major cruise operators have established a panel of leading virologists and health policy experts, which has, for many weeks, submitted suggestions for new protocols, with limited interest by the CDC in a two-sided discussion about resuming sailing,” he continued.

“In our view, there is something unjust about such unilateral treatment. We believe the sooner the CDC reconsiders the cruise industry as a willing partner, the faster employees get back to work and dedicated cruise customers can enjoy the same opportunity offered to resort, casino and airline customers.”
