Glad they have  the opportunity to depart...we'd  take advantage of it and  then plan further from St Maarten.. Good job Royal C for sending a rescue ship in cooperation with the U.S. Embassy! Hope all  on board stay healthy.

 

  No US Ports are involved so no CDC!

Upgrade to Premium Beverage Package for 1 night is a no brainer. 
 

Honestly, a great gesture by Royal...

How many U.S. citizens are in St. Vincent?   It has been a “Do not travel” area even before the volcano erupted.   On the Cruise Industry site, it doesn’t say the evacuation is only for U.S. citizens but they do say everyone boarding the ship has to have had the COVID 19 vaccination(s).    They have also periodically closed the Barbados airport because of the ash in the air, just depends on how the wind is blowing.

I wonder how many people onboard.   How many crew?   I believe they will arrive sometime tomorrow right?

It was US, U.K. and Canadian citizens being taken on the Reflection. The ship is taking them to St. Marten

And it may not just be vacationers, but citizens who live there, expats and long termers.
