Operative words

"Despite the valuable alignment between CLIA's previous voluntary suspension to 15 September and the CDC's current No-Sail Order date of 30 September, we believe it is prudent at this time to voluntarily extend the suspension of U.S. ocean-going cruise operations to 31 October" (CLIA, August 5, 2020, Ex. SEC-21-GM-032)

The organizer's notice

CLIA Third Voluntary Suspension of US Cruise Operations to Oct 31

Notes

2020: CLIA members voluntarily suspended U.S. sailings March 13, 2020; the CDC No Sail Order followed March 14, 2020 and was extended April 9, July 16 and September 30, 2020 to October 31, 2020 (Exs. FED-027 to FED-030); CLIA extended its voluntary suspension to September 15 and then, on August 5, 2020, to October 31, 2020 (Ex. SEC-21-GM-032); the Framework for Conditional Sailing Order of October 30, 2020 replaced the No Sail Order (Ex. FED-031). Port Tampa Bay and PortMiami recorded the cessation in March 2020 (Exs. AGY-USCG-PORTS-069, -072, -073; Port Canaveral, Ex. AGY-ST-TRANSPORT-PORTS-TRANSIT-058). 2021: No passenger sailings from U.S. ports until late June 2021, when the first ships sailed under the CSO's technical instructions of May 5, 2021 (Ex. FED-032); the CSO remained in force through September 30, 2021 (enjoined as to Florida ports from July 23, 2021, Ex. SEC-06-009) and was extended October 25, 2021 to January 15, 2022 (Ex. ECO-C-141). The Alaska season depended on Pub. L. 117-14 (row 22). Usual dates: Year-round in Florida, Texas and Louisiana; May-September in Seattle (Alaska). Scale: CLIA: cruise activity in the United States 'supports nearly half a million (421,000) American jobs and generates $53 billion annually in economic activity'; 'Each day of the suspension of U.S. cruise operations results in a loss of up to $110 million in economic activity and 800 direct and indirect American jobs' (CLIA release, August 5, 2020, Ex. SEC-21-GM-032).
