This Popular Cruise Destination Now Has A Level Two Travel Advisory

When you’re traveling, you’re likely thinking about all the destinations and spots you want to hit while you’re there, not necessarily wondering if the location is safe to visit to begin with.

If you’re traveling to a spot you’ve never been to before, you may choose to check the U.S. Department of State travel page, which lists different travel advisories you should be aware of. That doesn’t mean not to travel to these places (though sometimes the advisory is that intense), but it gives you an idea of what to be cautious of while traveling to that country. There’s a Disney Cruise Line ship that has Saint Lucia on their itinerary in 2027 that we’re now paying attention to, because the travel advisory for the country has just increased.

On July 10th, the travel advisory for Saint Lucia, the island country in the eastern and southern Caribbean, specifically south of Martinique and to the north of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines. Previously, there was a Level 1 advisory for the country, but now it’s at level two, meaning increased caution is advised.

The change in advisory is due to crime. Violent crime is possible anywhere in Saint Lucia, and “U.S. citizens and other foreigners in the country have been victims of armed robbery, assault, and burglary.” Police response times are also not as fast as in the United States, which adds to the danger, and petty crime like snatching and pickpocketing is very common, so it’s important to stay very aware of your surroundings. Tourists should also beware of overcharging and scams in tourist areas, which are also common. Travelers may encounter aggressive vendors, but it’s important to remember that most sites have tourist police available to help in situations that make you uncomfortable.
