deus Posted April 18, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I am pretty sure I read that the Seattle Port is also closed until July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted April 19, 2020 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) With only crew, and no passengers with queasy stomachs, so no stabilizers needed, how long do you think it would take an R or O ship to make it from Miami to London or Rome? 😂. They aren’t sailing the Mayflower! 🤪 Edited April 19, 2020 by pinotlover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floatplan Posted April 19, 2020 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Canada is closed until the firm date of July 1. Seattle is NOT a firm date, it is closed "until the resolution of the public health emergency ...in conjunction with public health officials and our cruise line partners, the Port will regularly reevaluate this situation as the nature of this crisis evolves ". This makes it easier for the cruises lines to not cancel and hold our deposits. https://www.portseattle.org/news/port-seattle-expects-delay-start-2020-cruise-season https://www.portseattle.org/page/covid-19-updates-2020-cruise-season 17 hours ago, deus said: I am pretty sure I read that the Seattle Port is also closed until July 1st.

LJRVancouver Posted April 22, 2020 #19 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Canadian borders pretty well closed except for residents/citizens (few exceptions like essential workers, truck drivers) returning home. Upon returning to Canada mandatory 14 day self isolation and will met at border where you must provide your isolation plan If not satisfactory taken to hotel and put into quarantine. Self isolation to be monitored and will assist with services e.g. grocery delivery etc. Note in BC the 14 day mandatory isolation in place for anyone entering BC internationally long before Canada/US border closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Ontario it was mandatory but people were allowed to take the local bus or Taxi/Uber from YYZ home some shopped on the way home Then they finally brought in the stricter rules that if you did not have a plan to self isolate you had to isolate in a hotel Too little too late IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted April 23, 2020 #22 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Lyn; My b-I-l in Arizona says they still have Canadian snow birds hunkered in his community. Most have to start heading your way because they’re running up against a six month stay issue. Look forward to your reports on how well all those snow birds totally isolate once home!
