Rare MicCanberra Posted March 16, 2020 #5603 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I would say it is a shame, but perhaps you may be glad that the 2nd one was canned. It is strange times for cruising at the moment, with so many countries in lockdown and many more following. Hopefully the situation will be much better in a month or two.

We were scheduled to board in Vancouver on June 1th but all Canadian Ports will be closed until July 31st to cruise ships. Mic, I love your optimism but think realistically that it will be longer. Our friends from Perth just left on the 14th to fly home from Tampa. They are thinking that they may have to be self quarantined for 14 days when they get back. How is Canberra doing?Ocala is in Marion County, FL and we do not have any currently. https://www.wptv.com/coronavirus/how-many-coronavirus-cases-are-there-in-florida-check-the-states-interactive-coronavirus-map (it's the big county north and in the middle of the state, north of Orland with the right angled bottom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 16, 2020 #5607 Share Posted March 16, 2020 We have two reported cases now (in the ACT) but both have come from abroad. Australia itself has around 400 cases with 6 deaths so far. The government has implemented strategies aimed to slow the spread (rather than stop it) so that the medical services can cope with the situation, but I think this is just the 1st stage. People coming to Australia have to self isolate for 14 days once they are at home or at their final destination., which means they can spread it while travelling around to get there. Gatherings are banned if they have more than 250 people. Sports are still playing but with no crowds, that will cease as well. I think we will have to go into a lockdown soon if this is to be handled properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is after the 30 day self imposed break by HAL and the UK but things do change sometimes . If they don't change it's a go but if they do cancel it's not because we failed to try . We pray and try for the best and we will see what happens . Edited March 19, 2020 by scubacruiserx2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
