El turista Posted March 19, 2020 #126 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Update: Ship still receiving provisions and they took the opportunity of getting even more fuel. A good portion of medications were brought on board. Remaining medications expected to arrive today. Captain expects to depart for San Diego today. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 14 days cruising to San Diego with full provisions and no virus actually sounds very appealing to me right now compared to my home situation. We are all with you! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baabtx Posted March 19, 2020 #128 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Pilot boat is next to the Eclipse the morning, let's hope she'll be underway soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still bunkering, watching it now. Capt said earlier more medicine and provisions are coming, pretty sure you can't bunker and load at the same time while anchored. My guess is about 2 ship time (about 3 more hours). Will be glad to get under way and the @#$% out of Chilean waters. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be prepared for life back home to be very different from when you left. 14 days plus the time you have already been on board is a long time in the status of this virus. Enjoy the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prost Seattle Posted March 19, 2020 #132 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’d almost recommend when you get in touch with people at home to remain willfully ignorant of what life is like at home. It sounds like you have two more weeks to enjoy life as it was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching MSNBC because that and Fox News are the only news channels we get on the ship and everything looks so terryfing and dismal.

Wine-O Posted March 19, 2020 #135 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Enjoy your time on board Eclipse over the next two weeks. Hope you got lots of wine, beer, and alcohol in your recent provisions before you head to San Diego. All bars & restaurants in the State of South Carolina are closed. 😉 🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendaJ Posted March 19, 2020 #146 Share Posted March 19, 2020 We’ve got lots of supplies aboard Pursuit (bars are hopping at the moment). We hope to see the Eclipse behind us shortly (seeing as she can probably go faster than we can, I’m guessing Eclipse will pass us sometime soon). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Von & John Posted March 19, 2020 #147 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Stay safe… Cheers to enjoying a healthy cruise and future travels to your homes! We had hope to be on the cruise you’re heading out on shortly… All bars and restaurants in the state of Alaska have also been closed. Takeout, drive-through & delivery of food items still allowed. All entertainment & groups of greater than 10 are actively discouraged. And some municipalities have closed all the entertainment. Hospitals, in Alaska, have closed to non-urgent surgeries. Hospitals have been locked down no visitors allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachin2 Posted March 19, 2020 Author #148 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Apparently, the Pursuit paid the ransom/bribe required. We may need to pass the bucket on the Eclipse. And folks wonder why other folks dislike Latin america - truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expert being interviewed said that in the US, the rich essentially buy the politicians, who make the laws to favor the rich. So technically people follow the laws here, but there is still corruption. So it is not really appropriate to single out one area when it comes to corruption. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
