Here 8 ships are berthed off the bay and more are expected. There are no passengers on board; just about 1000 crew stay on each ship. It&#8217;s not a bad place to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbados hosts cruise ships by providing berthing and mooring facilities as well as offering resources, food, fuel and water. For now, no one is allowed ashore. Perhaps they may be allowed ashore after the guarantee period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, Barbados is facilitating flights home for stranded cruise passengers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/covid\/\">#COVID<\/a>-19 .
