Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted April 7, 2020 #676 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just wanted to quickly bring up the point that if news articles are quoted, lets make sure that it's mainly a small part and there is a link to the article so there aren't any copyright issues.

pb_uk Posted April 7, 2020 #677 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The twitter #coralprincess400 was set up in support of the near 400 UK passengers on board. A few minutes ago it reported there are still 8 Brits on board, presumably with health issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, an explanation works as long as it's not a copy and paste quote of a large part of the article. It's frustrating when I'm trying to read an article and can't. Unfortunately the Miami Herald is about to go back to having those which will make it more difficult in following along on the Coral princess news. Though checking our locals news stations will still offer much needed news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wichard Posted April 7, 2020 #681 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just now, pb_uk said: Great to hear that! Let us know that you both are home safely. Just a word of caution... the times may slip a little. We were told 3to 5 on Sunday, but 5pm came & went and we were fearing we’d been forgotten. Passenger Services said be patient, and we were called at 6pm. The reassuring bit is that it is a charter, with a defined manifest, so they will delay the flight until all are on the plane. The second UK charter was 90 minutes late leaving, possibly for that reason. Thank you I will. When I watched others it seamed that sometimes it would be a short interval between guests then sometimes 5 or more minutes. Yes thankfully it is a charter so we will not miss the plane like we did in Buenos Aires. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everyone will get off today. Since it is a 4 hour trip by car between Dallas and Austin we will be home somewhere around midnight. I appreciate all the best wishes and encouragement that we have received on this forum. Be safe until this passes. Richard Hi Richard, I wonder why they are making you fly to Dallas via Houston in order to get to Austin? From the Houston airport to Central Austin is a 2 hour 45 minute journey saving you road time plus air time. Oh well, the important thing is you are going home, great news!!!

kplady Posted April 7, 2020 #684 Share Posted April 7, 2020 HI all, I've been following along on the Coral Princess issues - I just now saw this posted on Facebook: Coral Princess guest disembarkation continues today, as we've arranged 9 scheduled domestic charter flights. Guests requiring shoreside medical care are disembarked and being treated. Following today’s efforts, about 90 guests will remain onboard given current international travel restrictions. Homeward travel arrangements will be made for these guests as soon as arrival clearance is obtained by each country. We announced a voluntary 60-day pause of operations on March 12, becoming one of the first companies in the leisure travel industry to take this proactive measure. Coral Princess remained in service longer than expected due to a series of port closures, airline cancellations, and other actions taken, which impacted the onward travel home of the onboard guests and crew. Details here: https://*****/2JLyN1q I hope all remaining guests will be able to disembark soon and head on their way home safely. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once those aircraft are out of the United States, transportation is not regulated by the U.S. Government. Once the flights arrive 'down under' it is up to the local governments to decide how the pax travel from the airports to home. Don't believe everything you see from the press, they're not providing a service, they're in the business of selling advertisements. A British friend onboard got a flight back to Heathrow and then a car and drive back home to Manchester! She is now safe at home!! Not really sure what you are referring to when you say "they are in the business of selling advertisements" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a quote from a newspaper in New Zealand with a lot of inflammatory misinformation I'm pretty sure he was referring to the newspaper that posted the incorrect information when he said the bit about being in the business of selling advertisements. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me it is a simple matter of logistics. Probably more ground transportation options from DFW. Have you ever taken flights and first flown east to go west? I have 😀 Edited April 7, 2020 by frugaltravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad the passengers will be home soon. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get flight information it shows the origin, layover the final destination. I found it strange as well but I was so tired I might have missed something in the body of the text. Anyway all is well and I am home. I hope everyone else go home as well 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pammy s Posted April 8, 2020 #698 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I am finally home after being on the Coral Princess. I have been reading thru all the post, not sure if I clearly understand the true numbers for some of the things happened. I am just trying to get more accurate number understanding of status of things that have happen: * Have many passengers and crew remind on the ship? * Am I correct 3 passengers passed away? *How many passengers and/or crew members were taken to the hospital for medical treatment from the ship? *How many passengers and/or crew remind on the ship sick? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
