A Carnival cruise ship that departed Miami has been denied entry to two Caribbean ports after passengers tested positive for Covid-19.
The cruise line reported however that its ship, Carnival Freedom, was allowed to visit Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic on Friday.
It asserted that the ship is following all protocols and has a small number on board who are in isolation due to positive COVID-19 tests.
Carnival has marketed this is a vaccinated cruise, and said all guests were tested before embarkation.
The Carnival Freedom departed Miami on December 18 and stopped in Curacao on Tuesday.
Its planned stops at the Caribbean islands of Bonaire on Wednesday and Aruba on Thursday were canceled.
Those stops were replaced by Friday's stop in The Dominican Republic, and the ship will return to Miami as planned on Sunday.
