Cruise line has stopped visits to 2 popular ports

According to a story by The Street, seafarers should be informed that a well-known cruise company has stopped mooring at two well-known locations, at least temporarily.

Because the port’s pier has been undergoing repairs since April, Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas Oasis class cruise ship has been unable to anchor in San Juan, Puerto Rico. According to the article, the pier cannot reopen until the U.S. Coast Guard gives its approval.

The world’s largest cruise ships dock at Pier 3 West in San Juan. Capt. Luis J. Rodriguez, commander of USCG Sector San Juan, told SeaTrade Cruise News that Coast Guard Prevention staff have been actively collaborating with the Puerto Rico Ports Authority and the San Juan Cruise Port to ascertain whether the facility’s mooring structure is still suitable for cruise ship operations since it was lost.

In addition, the cruise company has canceled its call on Manzanillo, Mexico, most likely as a result of a recent level 4 do not travel recommendation from the US State Department cautioning passengers against visiting that region of the nation.

Avoid traveling because of the risk of kidnapping and criminality. Gang activity and violent crime are pervasive. Assassinations committed against members of criminal groups account for the majority of homicides. Bystanders have been killed or wounded in shooting events between criminal groups. U.S. residents and citizens have been abducted, the State Department reported.

The business stressed that they had been looking for alternate locations for upcoming cruises in an email sent to passengers who had made reservations. According to the Royal Caribbean Blog, Symphony of the Seas will now visit Labadee, Haiti, instead of San Juan, as part of the updated schedule.
