As it stands now, basically the only things remaining would be Caribbean cruises departing from Florida - BUT it hinge on CDC's requirements being met, or CDC modifies its requirements... I would say the remaining of 2020 would see no Princess cruise, and that probably would also apply to Holland America as these 2 now are in locked steps in their suspension of operations.
RCL so far only announced suspension up to Jul 31st. However it is unfathomable they could restart European cruises the remaining 1.5 months and the same 1.5 months remain for Alaska cruises with Canada does not intend to open its ports.
Despite all the “we’re almost back” ads and statements I honestly think cruising in general is screwed for this year. At least the typical Alaskan and European seasons are pretty well trashed. There may be some short 7 or less day cruises in the Caribbean or some equally unattractive “cruise to nowhere” but by no stretch of the imagination does this mean cruising is back, at least not to 2019 or earlier standards.
