Kamloops50 Posted September 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 23, 2017 You can sure that Princess is keeping an eye out. If a problem Princess will reroute change or cancel ports . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted September 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks, David, With volcano warning being at the highest level, with 500 tremors in one day, it certainly sounds like an eruption is imminent. Foreign Affairs has put out a warning that air travel may be affected. I guess Princess will reroute Sea Princess away from the volcano to keep passengers and crew safe.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted September 23, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Its under close watch here as well as it coincides with the school holidays and many families will be holidaying up there. An eruption will cause ash and disrupt air travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travellers should check the fine print of their travel insurance policies, as I seem to recall you are not usually covered once the Government puts out a travel warning.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Apparently there are 50,000 Aussies heading to Bali in the coming week, likely due to the school holidays but there may be a lot of disappointed people if flights are cancelled.

I read a report that some of the tourist areas are deserted and those tourists that are there can not find drivers , as the drivers don't want to leave their families. There are thousands due to fly over from NZ as well , as both private and public schools are about to go on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushka Posted September 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We are supposed to be in Bali in 4 weeks time on a land trip. All that would happen for a cruise is a reroute to Lombok. Our insurance policy was taken out last year. Until flights are cancelled or there is a Do Not Travel warning put out by the Govt then there is nothing we can do.

Hope Government puts out a Do Not Travel Warning, so you can cancel and reschedule at a safer time. I received a full refund, under those circumstances.

Rare MicCanberra Posted September 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Makes you wonder, A friend was telling me that it is all those bombs that NK have dropped recently is disturbing the earths balance or something as the major quakes in Mexico and now some volcanoes are becoming unsettled. I am thinking it is a correlation but wish that they weren't dropping bombs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an area that ships visit? Its in Northern Vanuatu on the Island of Ambae which is in a direct line with Luganville. The volcano is called "Monaro" NZ Govt have issued a travel warning for Bali , and any one heading over there should register. A state of emergency has been declared in Vanuatu. http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/world/340251/bali-volcano-nz-issues-travel-warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised that people are still flying to Bali. Now that NZ Govt has issued a travel warning, people should be able to get refunds for the flights and holiday bookings from their insurance.
