(Atlanta, GA) -- Cruise ship travel is now considered a lower risk of spreading COVID-19.

The CDC Monday changed its travel warnings for cruise ships and several vacation spots in the Caribbean and Atlantic from "very high" to "high."

At that level, travelers are advised to stay away if they're not up to date on vaccinations.
