Customers are highly encouraged to postpone all discretionary travel, if possible. Existing reservation holders who still need to travel will be prioritized and loaded on a first-come, first-served basis. New reservations on the route will be closed to try to keep enough space open to accommodate existing reservation holders. Customers who choose to delay their travel for today will not incur a no-show fee. Please note that standby space will be extremely limited.
WSF is making every attempt to accommodate reservation holders on their reserved sailing and those affected by the cancelled sailings, but customers may encounter extended waits and there is a chance that some may be unable to travel this evening.
Thank you for your continued patience while we work to navigate this challenging time.
