If you have been to any HAL muster drill, you know that the attention of the guests is abysmal. They talk throughout, don't pay attention, etc,. In the event of a real emergency, most of them would be clueless......

It reaqlly cold not be worse with an electronic one.

The least of our worries today!.........

Noooo. Be Patient. I got mine in writing on my TA's latest confirmation. HAL will be verrrry slow because of their enormous volume at this time....

Maybe they could use the laid up ships as Coronavirus hospitals.

Princess has been trying that. It isn't working too well!

The key words in his statement "those with underlying health issues are more at risk"

 

As both DW and I have no underlying health issues, we are going on a cruise.  

+1

HAL has a Cancel for any Reason policy on the website. "for certain cruises BOOKED  AFTER MARCH 1"..... Not too generous...

Good point.

 

 

We are as well.  I think the next couple of weeks to mid March will tell the story.  If it’s still in Italy, we won’t be able to do a non stop to Civitavecchia 😉 😞 

It should be noted that the outbreak in Italy is CURRENTLY limited to Lombardy and Veneto (in the north). Civitavecchia (Rpme) is not included.....

We are at sea until we find a port that will allow is in and have flights available to get us home.  The Captain announced that we are not in quarantine.  HAL had cancelled the February 15th cruise. 

Realism: It's wonderful!

Good luck, and a safe journey home!

I was  on the Transpacific last year. Internet is fine. Are those people incapable of buying their own internet, assuming they want/need to??

An awful lot of "what if" and other speculation here.......

Called Holland yesterday (what a concept!). Chatted with an agent, asked "(sic) Are they adding Tamarind to the Westerdam in this drydock?". His answer was "(sic) "It seems so". I then asked "Where is it located on the ship?". His answer "Looks like it is on deck 2, but it is not on the deck plan yet". So we still don't know for sure. Only way we will know for certain is to hear from someone who is actually on the ship this week......

A is the alphabetic for 10......

Zuiderdam hotel manager told us last July that the plans were to add room mid ship, similar to signature class, for the Tamirand and move the HAL Club downstairs to less pricey real estate areas. 

Anything new, confirmed or real about this??

"Limited" is the key word. Some cruises do, some don't. Some go into the engine room, some don't. About 12 people per tour, $150 pp. when offered....

After you've stood in line for a half an hour, then go back to your table where the rest of your breakfast has been removed.....

Some people would ***** if they were hung with a new rope!

Nothing like a FRESHLY prepared omelet in  the Lido.......

I have cruised with RCCL the most over the years (been cruising since the 80s), but have recently enjoyed Celebrity.  

SO?????

Our experience with Capt van Dreumel and HD Belleghem (numerous TAs) have been nothing but excellent. Both have always bee courteous and caring at all times. Can't imagine the being as described here.....

Not at all. Engine room we were in ( there are 4) was not operating. at the time...

Apparently they do on some, not on others.....

Too bad you missed the engine room. Highlight of our K tour in 2016. Over 2 days about 8 hours total...

# 1 & #3 Engine

#2 Azipod control motor

Great pizza across the street from the shuttle (and Traghetto Hotel....
