The cruise ship that passed the North coast was RCL Adventure of the Sea. It says the destination is now LaRomana, earlier it was Labadee. Current location is NE of Punta Cana, heading 163, speed 7.8 knots. No idea if there are passengers onboard or just crew. Quite amazing the number of cruise ships around Miami just idling along. There appears to be no dock space at any ports in Florida.

I thought the same until I took one. We cruised from Rome through the Med, Sicily, Malta, Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, Naples, forget one or two more ports. Met a lot of people, enjoyed some of the entertainment, the food was great, excursions we did ourselves mostly. Mind you, it was a Celebrity Cruise Lines cruise, a little more upscale than most. I was surprised I liked the whole experience.
I saw 2 ships........one y'day ... the other 2-3 days ago
One very close y'day.... the other farther out
close one was big.... far out not so big
They swing by the oldest light house in the New World

One of the more popular cruises in Canada is the Vancouver to Alaska cruise during the summertime. You have the option of sailing from Vancouver and flying back from Alaska or doing the reverse. The site of icebergs, polar bears and other wildlife plus visits to frontier Alaska towns keep cruisers interested. Russian icebreaker class cruise ship are used for tours of the Canadian Arctic. They take place when the open ice season starts in the Arctic and the ships stop at remote towns in the high North. I’m not keen on cruises. I’ve only done a three day one around the Med. I love sailing so the Windjammer Caribbean cruises have a certain appeal. Small vessels, sail driven, random stops in ports, and you get to handle the sails. The smaller vessels make it easy to meet other passengers. A gently rolling, well rigged and trimmed ship, a tall glass of dark rum, a well tuned guitar, and the company of lovely wenches. A man couldn’t ask for anything better. 
"wench" vs" winch" now you got me interested, a tall glass of dark rum, a well tuned guitar, and the company of lovely wenches. A man couldn’t ask for anything better.
No offense, but Bahamas is locked down just like everybody else. In fact, they have extended their lock down for another two weeks starting Monday. No one is entering including essential workers for infrastructure ( Desalination Plants) and no one leaves without Govenrment approval.. Resort World is one of my clients and has been trying to get me in to fix their SWRO systems on two different islands.. No go..

Well my last cruise was From La Romana to a few other Caribbean Islands, Italian ship. Food was ok, not salted at all, and lots of fresh fruit and veggies. Ice cream was excellent, as was the beer and wine. Entertainment standard for cruise ships. Lots of beautiful Colombiana on board, as well as some beauties from Antigua. Didn't use the pool or overeat. I probably won't do another cruise either.
To maybe answer the OP's question. T
here are 3 cruise ships arriving at La Romana to bring 288 Dominicans back.
Like AlaninDR already did mention the Adventure of the Seas from Royal Caribbean, the Carnival Glory from Carnival and Disney Magic from Disney Cruise.

Yes go... Most of you only get your information from the news and online. I know people personally that are entering and exiting the country via private jets, seaplanes, and yachts.
Whoever you’re getting you’re information from is out of the loop or just not giving you all the information.

I read the Lyford Cay article.....
Only legal residents w/ houses and citizens are allowed to enter.... w/ proper approval
It also states the borders are closed otherwise
When I read your post - it seems to infer open borders and entry to anyone.
Which is correct - the article or you ?
One of us is confused

To make this post DR related, I'll add that in April, permission was granted for documented Dominican workers on the island of Bimini who work for a company called OPAC to board and leave the Bahamas via private jet for Santo Domingo. This I believe was the last private jet allowed to leave the territory for repatriation purposes. All OPAC employees were checked for signs of COVID-19 by an official of the Minister of Health before being allowed to board. Once they arrived in Santo Domingo, they were all quarantined for an additional 7 days before being allowed to go home to their families.
The workers were working on the new "Virgin Voyages" Beach Club project on Bimini which is underwritten by Richard Branson.. The new property was supposed to open June 1st of this year.. Branson's new Virgin Cruise vessel made it's maiden voyage to the newly constructed Bimini Cruise ship dock in March and allowed by the Bahamian Government.. There is no specified date for the completion of this project or when the Dominican employees working for OPAC will be allowed to return.
Relating to Dominican workers job status?....their return to home soil?....
