shrimp56 Posted March 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Major earthquake off Western Indonesia. Amsterdam already in Hong Kong, but thinking of the crew families who had such happy visits and hoping they and the rest of Western Indonesia are safe. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35704845 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJcruzer Posted March 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) The Volendam is on a 14 day Indonesia Discovery ( Solar eclipse) cruise which started March 1 - visiting Jakarta, Lombok, Surabaya, Probolinggo, Komodo Island, Makassar and Bali. I have several CC friends on the ship (we were to be on the cruise, but scheduled surgical procedure changed that). I hope all is well, everyone safe and this occurrence will not impact their itinerary plans. Thoughts and prayers to those in the affected areas, and to crew members who have family and friends impacted by the quake. If anyone hears any news, could you please post it here? thank you Carol Edited March 2, 2016 by CJcruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheWASide Posted March 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hoping for the best case scenario re: loss of life, damage, etc. Also, since it's pretty much ALL there right now, hoping 75% of the HAL R-Class is okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
