St. Thomas
Cruise giant Carnival is taking it slow when it comes to returning to hurricane-ravaged St. Thomas and St. Maarten.
In a letter to customers posted on the Carnival website  Duffy set "the beginning of January" as a time frame for a return to  St. Thomas  and St. Maarten. She also set a hard date of Nov. 30 for the line's resumption of calls at the hurricane-hit port of San Juan  Puerto Rico and said calls at Grand Turk would resume in less than two weeks.
Hurricane Irma caused widespread damage across  St. Thomas  and St. Maarten in early September.  St. Thomas  also was affected by Hurricane Maria  which hit the island later in September and also slammed Puerto Rico and Grand Turk.
