The Royal Caribbean cruise ship Symphony of the Seas sails past Water Island and Crown Bay, St. Thomas, on Monday afternoon in what many might have thought was a mirage since cruise ship calls stopped with the start of the coronavirus outbreak in March. The 6,730-passenger vessel was en route from Barbados to Coco Cay – Royal Caribbean International’s private island in The Bahamas – according to cruisemapper.com, which tracks ship traffic worldwide. Barbados announced in March that it would welcome ships in need of a port during the pandemic, allowing provisioning but restricting crew members from disembarking. (Source photo by Sian Cobb)
