    MSC ORCHESTRA

    in MSC Cruises

    Posted

    You don’t need a visa before arrival in Jordon on a cruise ship,it’s free on arrival.

    Jordon horizons are one of the larger shore excursion company in Aqaba and they can confirm any info you require….We did Petra & Wadi Rum with them.

    Will the Jade make it to Africa?

    There's clearly been behind the scenes confirmation of it, given what Azamara and MSC have put it out. They're far too confident for it to just be an expectation based on a lower alert level. It all mirrors what happened in the UK and US where there were bans in place but which were leaked as being removed by the cruise companies before the official announcement.

    What was the change to the 1st cruise? I haven't seen any posts about it. 

    Israel got canceled.

    I find it borderline unethical, that they sell cruises for ports, that are not only closed, but does not show any signs of opening anytime soon. 

    Very true,I'm booked on the Dubai to Athens return leg.Flights payed,2 nights accommodation in Dubai pre cruise fully payed.

    There is no way this years Cape Town cruises are 3-4 thousand cheaper than next year..why.

    Personally I've paid 2 K in shore excursions for a cruise that won't happen.

    I'm talking here as a UK citizen.

    We have certainly made mistakes in the handling of this pandemic , but every government has been in entirely uncharted waters .

    However , largely through vaccination ,  we have got to the point where we are more or less co-existing with covid. It is foolish to work on the assumption it is going to disappear- it clearly isn't. 

    Even though we have pretty much opened up society completely again , case rates are still falling - this is the first time this has happened without a lock down.

    Cruising , like every other facet of life,  has to find a way to live with covid and move on. Anthem of the Seas has been doing domestic cruises around the UK since the beginning of July and has been so successful,  they have just extended the UK season to the end of October.I should add that to date there hasn't been a single case of covid on Anthem.

    We are booked in middle of August for 8 nights and looking forward to it more than any other cruise we have previously been on- its our first holiday since the pandemic began.

    Protocols include - PCR test 3 days before we go for everyone over 2 years old. Kids between 2 and 17 must also have a lateral flow test at the port before boarding. Everyone over 18 must be fully vaccinated with at least 14 days since the 2nd dose.

    Masks must be worn in public areas of the ship while moving about.

    Royal say that the guest satisfaction ratings from these UK cruises are the highest they have ever achieved.

    My long-winded point is that with the correct set of protocols it is perfectly possible to have a safe ,  enjoyable cruise and there is no reason at all why Ovation should not be able to begin domestic cruises around Australia , and be very successful at it.

    Unfortunately Australiia is not like the UK.

     

    you guys can live with thousands of cases per day....Australian  Hass mass hysteria over one per day.

     

    FYI as of day

    60% of the Australian population is in lockdown
