Possible Turmoil in Puerto Rico Could Affect Cruisers   

We’re getting word that the Governor of Puerto Rico has ordered almost half of the island’s government agencies closed as of May 1 due to a budget deficit if $1 billion.  Government employees and union members faced with the prospect of large scale layoffs have been staging protests in an attempt to demand the government find a solution to the budget problems.

Puerto Rican officials have announced that the Puerto Rico Ports Authority will not shut down even if much of the rest of the island’s government agencies close on May 1.  The Puerto Rico Ports Authority operates the island’s airports and seaports.  However it is possible that large scale protests on the island could disrupt cruise ship arrivals and departures over the next few days.
