The U.S. government has issued additional travel advisories that you should be aware of if you are going on a cruise or traveling soon.
The U.S. government issues travel warnings and advisories to ensure that U.S. citizens make informed decisions when deciding where to travel. Recently, they issued advisories for three Caribbean destinations.
On November 12, the U.S. government released Travel advisories for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and Bermuda due to the impact of Hurricane Beryl on these countries.
Although all of these countries are still at Level 1 travel advisories, which involves taking normal precautions when traveling, the U.S. government has issued travel warnings to these areas. These countries were hit by Hurricane Beryl in July 2024, and buildings and infrastructure were damaged.
The U.S. State Department has four levels of travel advisories. The lowest level, Level 1, means take normal precautions, while the highest level, Level 4, means do not travel.
In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the damage has led to a reduction in the number of hotels and transport options. In Granada, the damage also led to fewer food options. Additionally, fewer hotels are available and internet service has been severely impacted. It is recommended to contact your destination before traveling to any of these areas to inquire about potential damages.
These southern Caribbean destinations are ports of call for various cruise ships, and while cruise ships also monitor travel advisories and local conditions, it is also important that you make informed decisions about your travels. If you're heading to one of these locations soon, you'll want to contact the location you're heading to for conditions.
