US government adds more travel warnings for Caribbean cruise ports. The US State Department wants travelers to understand why they need to be more wary in some ports that have generally been considered safe
To help U.S. citizens make informed decisions when deciding to take a trip abroad, the U.S. Department of State issues four levels of travel advisory alerts based on safety and security conditions in each country.
Before booking a cruise or departing on one you booked well in advance, it’s a good idea to check the current travel advisories for the cruise ports you plan to visit. You can do so on the State Department website, which also offers an interactive, color-coded world map view.
