Two cruise lines are reportedly sending empty ships to the Caribbean islands hit hardest by Hurricane Irma to bring in supplies and evacuate tourists.

Bloomberg News said Friday that Norwegian Cruise Lines is dispatching its Norwegian Sky to St. Thomas, one of the US Virgin Islands.

It’s scheduled to arrive on Monday, and expected to pick up 2,000 stranded vacationers.

The local government will decide who gets to board.

Royal Caribbean said two of its ships would sail to St. Thomas and St. Martin on similar missions, with two more preparing to sail to Key West and Tampa, Fla., if they’re needed.
