- In the **Travel News**, Canada says no cruise ship calls at its ports in 2021. Does this mean an old US law threatens the Alaska summer cruise season? Reminder: If you are picking up someone at an airport, train or bus station, you will need a mask in the lobby. The fine is $1,500 and apparently it’s going to be enforced. A survey by leading travel risk and crisis responder **Global Rescue** says traveler concerns will drop dramatically this summer as more COVID vaccinations are completed. 77% of responders say they are less concerned about traveling during the second half of the year.
- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment discusses vaccines vs. travel. This week, three cruise lines announced they will require vaccines to board their ships. We have an update.
- Tour professional and Road Reporter **Clayton Whitehead** joins a travel roundtable in the back half of the program. Clayton is a lifetime travel industry veteran and has some thoughts on how and when travel returns and what it looks like.
- **Mark** offers one of his **Just One Man's Opinion** commentaries on a subject that is only marginally related to travel, but is something he has noticed during COVID, and it (humorously) alarms him.
