Much misunderstood.
Jones act applies to cargo/freight.
Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 applies to passengers.
(Even major cruise lines consumer sites incorrectly reference Jones Act.)

But the issue is likely due to visa and work eligibility in USA (USVI).
Also issues of same in BVI

Capt Jay will chime in?
