The best way to protect yourself from severe disease is to bevaccinated, the agency said.
People who are not up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines and are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 should not travel on cruise ships, according to the CDC.
Several cruise lines are lifting the masking requirement as many destinations are lifting COVID-19 mandates.
The CDC doesn't recommend wearing a mask on a cruise when indoors or in crowded outdoor settings.
