Since the advent of Covid-19, a tsunami of diktats has emanated from US regulatory authorities. These include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the US Coast Guard; and the Environmental Protection Agency.

The last cruise-related regulations adopted by lawmakers in the United States came in 2010 with the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act.
