Navigator is in Jamaica at the moment and apparently all excursions have been cancelled due to political reasons

Wow, any news as to what is going on? Is this on CNN or a web site that I can follow?

There is also a PetroCaribe Summit in Montego Bay today, and Fidel Castro is attending.

Interesting - we were on the Majesty in April 1999 and the captain announced that we would not be stopping in Ocho Rios the next day as scheduled. Political unrest in Jamaica over high gas prices caused this departure from the itinerary. However, there were free mimosas and bloody Marys the next morning for a couple of hours!

fair enough

I was there last week and had no problems, but then again I did not get past Margaritaville.

I'll bet it's because of this.
