If that is the case, we will likely cancel our on-board educational program on Saturday, January 19 in the interest of not putting our guides or fans at risk of driving to Downtown Chicago. We hope to make a decision by Thursday night at the latest. Many other program dates are upcoming including January 26. Our new passport stamps would then debut on February 23.
