Jones Act
Federal Law prohibits travel between two contiguous U.S. ports. For example, you cannot board the ship in New Orleans and then debark in Tampa. Such travel would constitute point to point transportation between two U.S. ports, which is prohibited on foreign flagged ships. Any guest who insists on debarking under these circumstances accepts responsibility for any and all resulting penalties.
Cabotage Law
Similar to The Jones Act/the passenger Services Act, Italy's European law prohibits ships of Non-Italian registry from embarking and disembarking guests at two different Italian ports; the exception to this law is if the ship calls at a foreign port other than a non Italian port. Additionally guests are prohibited from embarking or disembarking the ship in Dubrovnik, Croatia. |
