Answers to your post-COVID travel questions Dianne Newcomer View Comments Because the world is a little haywire right now, I am still getting emails about how things are looking in the world of travel, so I thought maybe I could share a few of them, because, after all, you might be wondering the same thing! Q: I read that the CDC said cruising could start in July. Is it time to book a cruise to Alaska? A: The rumors are out there. Last week, the presidents of Holland America and Norwegian both hinted very strongly crusing could return to Alaska in August. Yet, I tend to agree with the famous words of Col. William Prescott when, at the battle of Bunker Hill, told his men not to fire at the British Red Coats until they saw the whites of their eyes. As a travel agent at Monroe Travel Service where cruising is a large percentage of our business, I so wish cruising could return, but I doubt it will happen so quickly.
