Behind the storm raging for months in the United States between the CDC and the major cruise lines, there is American Cruise Line. It is one of the few cruise lines that can sail within US waters during the pandemic.
So far, the Guilford, Connecticut-based cruise line has six out of its 13 vessels sailing both the east coast, west coast, and the Mississippi River, while the line plans to be operating in Alaska shortly as well.

Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said that the state will join Florida in suing the CDC to try to overturn the Conditional Sailing Order (CSO).
Florida sued the Biden administration in federal district court on April 8 to overturn the CSO, saying the yearlong lockdown of the cruise industry by the federal government had directly harmed the state of Florida, its citizens and their families, resulting in the loss of billions of dollars in economic activity.
Speaking Tuesday at a virtual Alaska Travel Industry Association conference, Dunleavy said that Alaska would likely join Florida s lawsuit by tomorrow.
