Creator's Key Takeaways

The ongoing US Venezuela conflict is disrupting air travel across the Caribbean and Latin America, triggering widespread uncertainty in the tourism industry.

Virgin Voyages has announced its Valiant Lady will be skipping scheduled visits to nearby Aruba and Kurissau.

Princess Cruises will provide up to 2,610 guests a pro-rated refund equivalent to one day of their cruise fair.

I have mixed feelings. Some of it I'm in support of, some of it I'm opposed to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Expect longer journeys and possible disruptions due to airspace restrictions.
Contact cruise line assistance teams if unable to reach departure port due to travel delays.
