Cruise Ship Locations - During the cruise ship ban of 2020/2021/2022

[doenbucket]

Your right, Pacific Explorer is on the move heading for Suez Canal.😃

[sewgood]

The Pacific Explorer has now entered the Suez Canal and is on her way to Singapore.

I expect her to pick up some more crew there.

She's on her way home. 😄

[MicCanberra]

It will be good to see a large ship back in Sydney Harbour

[SinbadThePorter]

Coral Princess is still hanging around the Bahamas.

 

Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure are still at Limassol.

[Chiliburn]

It looks like we are booking a P&O cruise to Mortan island in August.

 

Will we survive?

Question should be:

”Will P&O survive the 🌶”

 

😆😂

I heard ,P&O U.K. are in pretty bad shape , I don’t know if that effects them here.

 

I thought about it and July-August is the height of the flu season and I’m still trying to deal with the current cancellations from RC 
I think I will wait.

Heard the same but only about P&O UK, they have put off 800 crew - by Zoom evidently.

 

Don't hear anything affecting P&O Oz - by the chatter on social media - I think they are just fine, I would book a cruise with them.

 

And flu season, what flu season??

 

How else will you judge how great Royal still are? 🙄

😆

Pacific adventure looks good ,pacific explorer on YouTube reminds me of the Sitmar cruises my parents used to take me on.

 

As for the flu season,we have been living with it all our lives but I’m just concerned about the hysteria we are going to get if someone has a sneeze.

 

 As for P&O , I would definitely go on one of there ships . But if there’s better ships ,go with them.
I use to work on trawlers for many years. P&O couldn’t be any worse than that.

It wasn't the cruise ship P&O UK but P&O Ferries who sacked the crew. P&O Ferries is owned by DP World, a logistics company from the United Arab Emirates.

I think P and O Oz are ok…just don’t think you are on a 5 star ship.    It’s a few years since we went on one.   It was ok.   There are limited options just now and if you want a cruise in OZ then it will be fine.   We have a 7 day one booked for August 22!

 

just enjoy being on a cruise.   No cooking and no cleaning!

It’s a trap for beginners.

 

I wonder what the accomodation is like on the UK ferries,at the moment I would be happy to sleep under on of the trucks onboard.

[NSWP]

My son's company Albatros (he is Chief Commercial Officer) has evacuated it's Ukrainian Crew members to Poland and is relocating them for accommodation on to one its ships, Ocean Atlantic which is is in in the Baltic somewhere readying for the Arctic season.  Many of the Ukrainian crew members, both seafarers and expedition staff have no homes left, thus a crew cabin and food is better than nothing.

 

The company is also running trucks from it's Polish office to the Ukraine/Polish border with food stuffs and medical supplies. Also a sizeable donation.

All about sacking the Brit seamen and outsourcing with cheap labour from overseas.

Thanks Les,

What a great company to do that.🙂

Our worries are so small compared to what the people of the Ukraine are going through.

I wonder what the other shipping lines have done for their Ukrainian employees.

I'm sure that I always see some from the Ukraine on a cruise be they musicians or engineers.

Radiance Of The Seas arriving in to Port Everglades, USA today:

 

[arxcards]

Coral Princess also had a service call in Port Everglades yesterday, but looks like she has just headed back to the Bahamas to wait a little longer.

 

Costa Magica, touted to be heading to Carnival and sent down here to replace Spirit, has been offered-up as a ship to house refugees from Ukraine. For now, she is still unemployed off the Italian coast.

 

Carnival Splendor is just arriving into Manila on her way to her US Alaskan season.

Cheers for the updates

Thanks Kiwi_cruiser, that's solves why I couldn't get the position of the Pacific Explorer after she passed near Jedda, I thought in was due to her going through the pirate alley near Yemen that they didn't want to give out her position.

It will be interesting to see when the Coral starts her journey down under.
