According to CNBC.com, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that cruise ship travel “exacerbates the global spread of the Coronavirus. The Carnival Corp owned cruise line sent notices out to travel agents that it will resume travel on August 1st starting with eight of its ships.  Three of its ships will set sail from Galveston, Texas, three from Miami, and two of its ships will sail from Port Canaveral, Florida.
