The first cruise ship to set sail in the Caribbean since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has reported that a passenger on board has tested positive for the virus, according to The Points Guy.

A reporter for the travel site, Gene Sloan, is aboard the SeaDream 1 and was meant to be documenting the new safety measures on the small vessel, which departed from Barbados on Saturday and is carrying 53 passengers and 66 crew.

Sloan reported that the boat's captain, Torbjorn Lund, made an announcement over the intercom midday on Wednesday explaining that a passenger had tested positive "on a preliminary basis." It's currently unclear what he means by "preliminary."

Sea Dream Yacht Club, which owns the ship, did not immediately reply to PEOPLE's request for clarification.

I get the urge people have to return to the old way of life, but COVID is here, and we don't have a solution yet. I want to go out and do stuff, I want to go to a restaurant. I want to go to a game, to take my son to the playground or the zoo or the park. But we have to have restraint so we can get through this thing without prolonging it.

I am here in FL and people can pretty much do w/e the fuck they want. Personal freedom tramples on our individual rights. This sucks but the solution is not to pretend it is not happening.
