Rare YoPhilly Posted March 20, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I'm glad she's finally gotten clearance. Unfortunately, we were supposed to be on her for the next 2 weeks. 😪 It looks like Marina is just now entering the Panama Canal. https://www.cruisemapper.com/?imo=9438066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susiesan Posted March 20, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I am so sad looking at these pictures. I was so looking forward to my cruise on her June 26 from Copenhagen but I seriously doubt that cruise will go. Those of you onboard enjoy your last few great meals.

Doesn't sound they did when closing ports. Sounds like ships showed up and were denied. I'm more and more thinking one to two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully in the next six months, scientists worldwide will find out a great deal more about COVID-19 reoccurrence possibilities, effective treatment possibilities, vaccine possibilities, etc. so that more educated/informed decisions can be made.

I hope the same. And then tack on another six months or a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
