Even though cruise lines have given the above dates for when they would like to resume, there’s a good chance that the dates can or will be changed again.
The COVID-19 pandemic is an extremely fluid situation and no one can honestly say with any certainty they know when cruises will resume.
Also, cruise lines have stated that some cruise ships will not start back up when they resume cruises. Depending on the home port, some cruises have been canceled through the fall.
