The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its No-Sail Order telling Americans to avoid going on a cruise until October, the agency said on Thursday.
The decision comes as several cruise lines have suspended their itineraries until the fall, including MSC Cruises, and Carnival Cruise Line, which even predicted it wont carry full passenger capacity until 2022.
The latest No-Sail Order was extended until at least Sept. 30 for cruise ships with the capacity to carry at least 250 passengers in waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction, according to the CDC. The order was originally implemented on March 14 and had previously been extended.
The agency said the decision was made to ensure that passenger operations on cruise ships do not resume prematurely.
