Due to the situation surrounding the coronavirus worldwide, the United States Government issued an alert to its travelers, urging them to avoid cruise ships. Especially travelers with underlying health problems, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention point to an increased risk of Covid-19 infection in a cruise setting.

In the alert, it is also detailed that older travelers with health problems should avoid crowded places, non-essential trips, long plane trips, and especially embark on cruises. For its part, the Comprehensive Port Administration (API) in Cabo San Lucas pointed out that 2 of the 3 arrivals scheduled for this March 9 were canceled, in order to attend to the health measures implemented by the neighboring country of the north. Meanwhile, some of the cruises postponed the date to arrive at the port of South California until midweek.
