jimdalva Posted June 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2015 U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced beginning in 2016, changes concerning Cruises to Nowhere will be made so these short sailings into international waters without calling at any ports will no longer be allowed. D-1 visa holders are no longer eligible to work as crewmembers on Cruises to Nowhere. This means that the only way for Cruises to Nowhere to continue is for the lines to employ an entirely American crew for each vessel doing a CTN. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted June 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2015 A disappointing decision. I have enjoyed many CTN and viewed them as a fun weekend getaway. This does explain why my TA contacted me last week and told me the June 2016 Sunshine CTN from NYC is cancelled. BOO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
