Where is Chris - Waterpark Day

Today is National Waterpark Day so we are featuring one of our favorites.   This waterpark can only be reached via a cruise ship.  Your ship docks alongside the pier and you embark on a full day of fun in the sun for the whole family.   There are several different areas that you can explore.   Do you want to zoom down water slides, splash in the pool, or zip over the island?   You can do all of these things and more during your visit.   Where is Chris?

Most waterparks are still closed due to Coronavirus, so today's theme day might be a bit bitter sweet.  Next best thing for the kids might be running thru the sprinkler in the yard.  #KeepTheKidsEngaged

Where is Chris - Tequila Day

I have been known to enjoy a drink made with tequila during my cruise vacations, especially at a tequila factory.   You can probably guess a country which specializes in tequila, but can you guess where I am in this photo?  Today inspiration came from #NationalTequilaDay.

Talk with the kids about drinks that are popular in different lands or cultures.      #KeepTheKidsEngaged

CDC Seeks Public Comments on Cruising and Covid-19

On July 16, 2020, CDC extended the No Sail Order and Suspension of Further Embarkation thru September 30th stating 'The current scientific evidence suggests that cruise ships pose a greater risk of COVID-19 transmission than other settings.'

On July 21, 2020, CDC announced a Request for Information related to cruise ship planning and infrastructure, resumption of passenger operations, and additional summary questions. This information may be used to inform future public health guidance and preventative measures relating to travel on cruise ships.

Public Can Comment

Interested persons or organizations are invited to participate by submitting comments specifically on the following questions related to planning and infrastructure, resumption of passenger operations, and summary questions raised in this document.

This was formally documented in the Federal Register here.  There are 28 questions, many of which have subcategories.  A PDF version of the Federal register is available here.

Until now, the cruise industry talks with the CDC have been focused on operations to protect the safety of crew members onboard ships that have been impacted by the no-sail order.   This opens the door for talks about resumption of operations with health and safety measures in place.

You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2020-0087 by any of the following methods listed below. CDC does not accept comment by email.

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. 
• Mail: Maritime Unit, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS V18-2, Atlanta, GA 30329.

Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket Number. All relevant comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided.

For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to https://www.regulations.gov. 

CLIA Response to Extension

According to Seatrade Cruise News, In response to the CDC's extended no-sail order, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) said the industry remains 'aligned with the CDC in our commitment to public health and safety. We are also pleased that the CDC has announced its intention to issue a request for information about the industry's resumption of passenger operations. As we continue to work towards the development of enhanced protocols to support the safe resumption of cruise operations around the world, we look forward to timely and productive dialogue with the CDC to determine measures that will be appropriate for ocean-going cruise operations to resume in the United States when the time is right.'

Where is Chris - Hammock Day

While most travel is still on hold, dreaming is not.  Imagine you are at this resort and spending your day relaxing in this hammock by the sea.  The warm suns beats down on you while gentle breezes blow over your body keeping you comfortable.  The waves gently crash onto the shoreline and you are feeling very relaxed.   Doesn't this sound like a perfect way to spend a vacation?

Have you ever considered a resort vacation?  Did you know that many resorts allow one-day passes to cruise passengers?    We visited this resort a few years ago and can still remember the enjoyable time we spent there.  Where is Chris?

There are some great deals available right now for travel later this year or next.  Resorts are taking precautions to keep staff and guests safe, as are the airlines.   We would be happy to research options for your future travel.  Your mission with the kids is to try to guess this resort destination and then think about where you might want to go.   #KeepTheKidsEngaged
