Three months after dropping anchor on its maritime route between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, America Cruise Ferries will resume offering the service today, following a $6 million mechanical and esthetic remodeling of the Caribbean Fantasy ship.
Ferry service between Puerto Rico and its island municipalities of Vieques and Culebra could be be significantly cut back starting in January, because the government has apparently decided not to renew its contract with private operator Puerto Rico Fast Ferries, this media outlet learned Wednesday.
America Cruise Ferries is entering its third year of operations as the only maritime connection between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic with major plans, including the possibility of upgrading the vessel it uses for the thrice-weekly trips, a high-ranking company executive told this media outlet.
