Passengers stuck at sea after Norwegian cancels Caribbean cruise mid voyage due to Covid-19
Excerpt:
Norwegian Cruise Line canceled its Caribbean trip mid voyage due to Covid-19, leaving travelers stuck at sea until the ship returns to New York.
The Norwegian Gem was on a 10-day sail but it was canceled and the ship docked in Philipsburg, St. Martin.
“As we continue to navigate the fluid public health environment, while focusing on delivering a safe experience for all on board, we made the difficult decision to cancel Norwegian Gem’s current Caribbean sailing, due to Covid-related circumstances,” a spokesperson for Norwegian Cruise said.
It’s not clear what exactly led to the cancellation. The spokesperson said the ship would return to New York “shortly” but did not provide a date.
Aimee Focaraccio told USA Today that she boarded the ship on Sunday for her birthday cruise. But what was supposed to be a fun celebration has now turned into a “nightmare,” she said.
“I really can’t imagine four more sea days back to back without much to do,” she said, calling it “extremely unsettling.”

JAR IIRC on February 18 the temporary funding of government ends. Would be ideal opportunity for some “lightning to strike” DC as they try to fund big gov. beyond Feb. 18.
