Couple Stuck in Caribbean Cruise 'Limbo' because 'of Trump'
Military action in Venezuela led to US flight restrictions affecting 5,000 P&O cruise guests, causing the Arvia to return to Barbados three times and alter its itinerary.
- On January 3 the P&O cruise Arvia, which can hold 5,200 tourists, was left stranded in the Caribbean after the US ordered the capture of Nicolás Maduro, with British holidaymakers describing the ship as 'in limbo' while circling Barbados.
- The US Federal Aviation Administration advised aircraft to avoid parts of the Caribbean after the military action, leading to cancelled and delayed flights that forced P&O Cruises to adjust plans.
- On January 2, 2025 the Arvia departed Barbados on a Caribbean itinerary that included Martinique, St Kitts and the British Virgin Islands and is currently docked in Barbados until 7pm local time on Tuesday before sailing to St Lucia.
- The operator says it has secured travel for 5,000 inbound and outbound passengers and is revising the itinerary, prioritising onward ports and communicating plans to guests.
- Passengers including Lizzy Meadowcroft and Mark Crowther say they were first told delays were due to weather, then an aircraft issue, and later the US action, leaving them disappointed and worried about further military activity.
