The U.S. travel industry is rebounding as the pandemic ​has eased. People are ​once again flying, driving, booking hotels ​and adventures -- but for the cruise industry, resuming operations is still a struggle. ​

Mass infections at sea led to ​the ships being docked last year, and strict federal ​rules were imposed for restarting operations. ​​But that policy is being challenged by Florida​'s governor, complicating cruise line plans.  

​Meanwhile, some American passengers set sail ​this weekend for the first time in 15 months from a foreign port.
