Disney cruise ship docked on St. Thomas turned away due to active COVID cases

Disney Cruise ship passengers waited at the West Indian Co. dock, expecting to disembark on St. Thomas only to be turned away due to active COVID-19 cases on board.

The ship arrived early Thursday morning around 7 a.m. but left the island around 9:30 a.m. It was scheduled to stay until 4:30 p.m.

“The Disney Fantasy did not call on St. Thomas today due to both an increase in COVID-19 cases on the island and a small number of fully vaccinated crew members and guests — less than 1% of those on board — in isolation for COVID-19,” a Disney Cruise Lines spokesperson told The Daily News.

“Those affected by these breakthrough cases are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, and we are following CDC protocols for managing cases on board,” Disney Cruise Lines said. “We continue to operate with multiple layers of health and safety protocols in place, such as requiring vaccinations, PCR tests at the port prior to embarkation for all guests, testing of our Crew multiple times per week, enhanced cleaning protocols and a requirement that masks be worn in all indoor spaces.”
