But some of the first departures have shown that restarting all of the machinery of cruising won't be easy. The good news is that the public is so starved to get back out to sea that it will overlook some level of inconvenience to do so. Related story: Windstar Cruises bills its "Beach Fun & Sun" itinerary as one of "secret beaches" and "destinations only private yachts can visit" on islands such as Anguilla, Tortola, and St. Barts. But several days before departure, guests who had booked the June 19-26 Star Breeze cruise got a phone call informing them that nearly all the ports of call had been canceled because of crew vaccination issues.
