Coronavirus and Seadream Med itineraries

[cburger100]

I don't see a way they can execute a summer season even with re-positioning SD1 to Norway when it is running at half crew.  Wouldn't they need to bring more back staff from places like the Philippians/Thailand, and/or recruit/train new people, and/or cut amenities and quality?  Or maybe they could further transfer staff from SD2, and then mothball her somewhere cheap? Plus they fired 95% of their shore side team such that they can't even keep their website updated or reply to simple emails. 
 
So is it reasonable to see them sailing again before September/October at the earliest?

Maybe Larry Pimental should come back and do some crisis management. This refund situation looks BAD on their part and even worse updating their website!

Importantly - the website says pausing MEDITERRANEAN operations until the end of August ... several sources including onboard and elsewhere in one of the CC SD topics report that efforts are underway for one or both ships to attempt operations out of Norway and elsewhere in Scandinavia this summer if local rules allow ... we shall see ... hope it works out.

True true. Good point in fact.  I think the rumours might be correct. Why move sd1 to Norway unless there was a good chance

The other interesting thing about the current website pages is that the post-August Med voyages seem to have changed at least in part ... assuming the old memory is holding up!
