This judge is really bad. All of her punitive requirements for the 12 hrs they spend in a US port? Or make all Carnival ships comply due to violations of a few cruise ships which cruised Alaskan waters?
Does she know what foreign ports are like? Or the cost imparted to American ports, companies and workers? This is the type of heavy-handed environmental dicta that led to the destruction of STS-107.
My wife noticed on a Holland part of a farcebook site the following ...
Next years Holland sailing scheduled to transit the Panama Canal, will not be stopping in Half Moon Cay. This modification of the itinerary is being posted.
Why ?
My bet is that the Bahama’s extreme restrictions be the reason. All private islands the cruises have are all ‘doomed’ by being the Bahama chain. Probably all sorts of requirement as far as using Bahama citizens to staff. They have to transit from Bahama mainland to these private islands and could be covid carriers.
Also I’ve read on Tom threads somewhere that a Bahama issued Visa is now required to make any travel involving a Bahama spot.
Also something about covid test within 7 days prior to Bahama travel. Well a ship coming from San Diego, through the canal, leaves more than 7 days before encountering Bahamas waters. So everyone is SOL.
Comments welcome ?
