CaptnAndy, See their update below. Note in red it says that after September 19th, everyone will require a negative test. We were there in July and had to present a negative test result and get temperatures checked at arrival, but it was a very quick and easy process. https://usviupdate.com/

"The cruise business can be continued via what is known as a technical call or warm layup. This is not a cruise call, the vessel does not have any passengers on board, and it will be berthing exclusively to take on bunkers, provisions, spare parts and other services," the BVIPA explained.
Under the arrangement, no crew members will be allowed to disembark from the vessel, and no attendance onboard the vessel from shore-based staff will be permitted during its stay in the BVI."

Almost everything going onto a cruise ship (anywhere) is moved by forklifts

Of course that can all change at any time so don't assume today's restrictions will be the same as next month. In the mean time go sailing in the USVI and enjoy!

A pop up shows up with the link you posted stating after 19 September all travelers must have a test. Yes curious. The text on the web site is very clear that you do NOT need a test. But the pop-up dialog seems to indicate otherwise. So hopefully in a day or two that will get sorted out.
