Accreditation passes
There has been a change of plan regarding the collection of accreditation passes. In an earlier email I stated that passes should be collected on arrival at Piarco International Airport. That is no longer the case. Instead, you will be driven from the airport by shuttle bus, to the National Stadium, where you will collect your pass. The shuttle bus will then take you on to the Caribbean Princess cruise liner.
If you are staying at a different location you will need to arrange transport from the National Stadium to your hotel.
