The Aida Perla cruise vessel will not be allowed to berth in Antigua as scheduled on Tuesday, Feb. 4.
The Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment in a press release this evening said the Maritime Health Declaration provided by the vessel was insufficient to make a proper assessment of the health situation on the vessel.
As a result, the ministry said additional crucial information was requested but that information was never provided in a timely manner.
The Aida Perla was denied entry in St. Lucia and Dominica due to health concerns of reported upper respiratory infections on board.
