Fortunately it was a false alarm

As you say bad news.

It makes you wonder how desperate TUI are for revenue to even consider sailing while the COVID positive rates worldwide are escalating.🤷‍♂️

 

Geez...

we are on board right now. Just to let you know, nobody twisted our arms to book the cruise 😉 
BTW: we feel safer here than in any supermarket even in Germany. Protocols and hygiene guidelines are religiously followed on board.

The "incident", blown out of proportions and reality by media (like The Guardian) turned out to be nothing but a false alarm. This was confirmed by Greek authorities this morning. Our cruise continues as planned... and we are enjoying every minute.

Pireaus (today) is the last scheduled POC I think.

 

We'll get the passengers' perspectives, rather than TUI's party line once they disembark.

This is the passengers perspective...

A thank you to the crew!

Didn't see the Guardian reporting it was a false alarm, typical sensationalist newspaper reporting

[WeeCountyMan]

Yes - poor stuff from the Guardian, and they are generally a responsible source.
