THE United States’ recent strikes in Venezuela are impacting the cruise sector, with guest turnaround operations for Windstar Cruises’ Wind Surf and Wind Spirit being impacted.
Turnarounds for the two ships, which are currently sailing in the Caribbean, are being impacted, Windstar has informed guests.
With the closure of St. Maarten and Bridgetown airports, Windstar has secured a berth to delay its departures, allowing flexibility for guests experiencing flight delays.
Both Surf and Spirit will now sail tomorrow.
Embarking and disembarking guests impacted through delayed or cancelled flights are being encouraged to contact their airlines directly for the most up-to-date information on flight status and rebooking.
Virgin Voyages has also said airline travellers unable to make it to San Juan in time for its upcoming cruise departure from the port will be able to get a full credit.
Cruise lines began skipping calls in the region last month over tensions between the United States and Venezuela.
The NL Times reported naval exercises forced Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Epic to skip Curacao in late Dec (CW 19 Dec).
