A person convicted of a felony may face numerous restrictions and challenges, including limitations on their ability to travel. One common question is whether a felon can go on a cruise to the Caribbean. The answer to this question is not always straightforward and may depend on several factors, including the specific cruise line's policies, the felon's criminal history, and the destination countries' entry requirements.
Generally, cruise lines are private companies that set their terms and conditions for passengers. As such, they have the right to deny boarding to anyone they deem a security risk or who they believe may violate their policies. Some cruise lines may have specific policies regarding felons, while others may leave the decision up to the individual cruise ship's captain. In some cases, a felon may be able to get a waiver from the cruise line if they can demonstrate that they are not a risk to other passengers or the crew.
