qbay46 check out the thread - Cruise Ship Locations - During the cruise ship ban of 2020 - post 636 and you may get some answers.

A lot of ships are now moving and we wonder where their final destination is.  Maybe Manila Bay got tired of them.  I understand that the facilities there were stretched with the massive number of ships.

Couple of days ago there were still 20 or 30 ships waiting in the queue to unload crew at Manila. They are going all over the place now, Singapore, Port Kelang, Malaysia etc.  I feel sorry for the crew, some of the ships have been waiting a couple of months or more to unload.

Ditto....and to think all ships must keep a skeleton crew on board to keep them running will mean some may not get home until this is all over.

Just checked on Golden Princess. She is at anchor in the Port Klang anchorage area along with Genting Dream . Crown Princess and Crystal Serenity are docked in PK.

They may be making more pretty pictures while getting fresh water.

More like trying to unload crew due to the unacceptable delays re same at Manila. KL is decent hub to fly out of. Malaysian Airlines needs the money, they have had a rough ride the last few years.

A rellie in the UK posted on FB this morning that Disney Magic is docked at Dover.

Yes, quite a few idle ships docked at Dover, Southampton and Portland, think that is off Dorset Coast, near Weymouth.

Yes, you are correct Les, Portland is an island near Weymouth.

Like Portland Bill.   Geography and History  were always my favourite subjects at School, Leigh. I was hopeless at Maths and Science.

Had to look Portland Bill up Les, it's the most southern point the Isle of Portland and of Dorset and the lighthouses there have been important for shipping.

They call it the Jurassic Coast do they not ? Well part of the Dorset coast anyway.  A lovely county is Dorset, we travelled through and around there a few times, most recently mid 2018.

I love history and geography too Les, although I did maths and science subjects at school as I wanted to be a teacher. That didn't happen but doing maths and science meant I was able to become a lab tech which I loved.

Yes the southern coast of Dorset is called the Jurassic Coast.
