cheers, I wonder how long they will stay out to sea., I suppose they may well be heading back by Monday.

Looks like D day In Manila bay. All they need is General McArthur.
 

 I suppose the Philippines government is welcoming the ships because they are big employers.

[MicCanberra]

And they are now adding some much needed revenue for the country, and possibly even to act as quarantine ships.

Fred.Olsen's four ocean going ships are in Scotland's Firth of Forth.  They sounded their horns and lit their search lights in honour of Royal Navy's Shine a Light Campaign for VE Day.

Do you know how many South African crew were off loaded from Island and Crown Princess in Cape Town?  Where to next?

[Gimer]

Don't know how many got off, but I can ask.  Here is a map of their scheduled destinations.  Looks like Mumbai, India next.

Photos from 2 days ago from Manila, South Harbor Pier 15 and the cruise ship is Explorer Dream.  Don't know the total of how many disembark, but 300 Filipino Crew members were allowed off.   

[Gimer]

Notice in the first photo, there is a white painted ship on the far right with a logo "2GO".  It's from 2GO Travel Cruise Line and it was appropriate by the Philippine Coast Guard and Public Health Department, to be uses to quarantine Filipino crew.  It's M/V St. Pope John Paul II and it can house 900.  A second cruise is near by, and it is the M/V St. Anthony de Padua, will also be use to house quarantine crew.

Interesting.

Yes Mic, she is on her way home (via Seoul). Will have to spend 14 days quarantine in s Sydney Hotel, which will be a piece of cake (after 66 days on the ship)
