iahawkfan21 Posted January 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I would say unlikely. That is still quite a ways off and in the unlikely event that it would Royal will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2019 You'll be fine. Those poor people are fighting for their lives, but within their own country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted January 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Should not be a problem. The floating market actually closed a while back because they could no longer get produce over from Venezuela. There were attempts to reopen it with locals but I am not sure where those have gone.

Rare Hlitner Posted January 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2019 My answer to the OP is, "Why?" Yes, the ABC Islands are relatively close to Venezuela. But the reality is that they are in different worlds. What happens in Venezuela has little impact in the ABC's...so not to worry. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted January 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Can never rule out refugees fleeing by boat if the situation turns violent. It's happening all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandbob Posted January 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Many wealthy Venezuleans have already opted to move to Panama, just as Cubans went to Miami decades ago. The ABC islands are independent countries and hardly impacted by internal Venezulean grief and misery. The OP will be able to enjoy his/her cruise, np.
