Mrs. Thomas Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Take the information as you will. This is the most up to date that I could find. Let's hope that things get better soon. We can't cruise if there is nowhere to go. https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-news/caribbean-islands-opening-travel-coronavirus Bob_KY and ehw51 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyLady Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 The islands are "open," but not to cruise ships. You need your negative covid results and a private yacht, if there are no flights available! Mrs. Thomas, crisgold52 and ehw51 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehw51 Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Theyre numbers are mostly low and they want to keep them low, can´t blame them. Hopefully the blue ribbon panel can convince all the powers at the CDC. And then they can start working on all the other countries.

PRebecca Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 if you're part of any of the All Inclusive social media groups people have been sharing in real time the first tourist experiences thru the airports and such, it's been interesting to follow.

Mrs. Thomas Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 @crisgold52 I'm not sure how that would go. At first they may require everyone to have a test before boarding. Could you imagine RCL trying to test everyone onboard? That would be a nightmare. I would do the whole Atlantis thing, but you need a passport and none of us have one. Getting one, especially right now, would be a pain and take forever. IF we start back in October (I don't care if anyone thinks this will happen, it is just for example) and the islands have a spike in cases, which is feasible no matter when tourists are allowed back, then they (the islands) may shut everything down no matter what the cruise lines decide. With no ports there are no cruises. All of this is just crazy; too many unknowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - I really think 2021 is more realistic to get more assurances in place Nice to meet you Mrs Thomas, I'm the spouse of a retired Marine as well.

That's awesome! My grandfather was Navy (WWII), Dad was Army, brother is Navy, in-laws that are Air Force, Husband is Marine. I figure if my son goes into Coast Guard we will have the entire military covered. He does love the water.
