Norwegian Gem just departed from Curacao and is heading back to Miami. I believe she will go to drydock soon. The planned drydock schedule for her would be Nov 9th-20th in Boston. Good info. I wish I could rename this theead as Ship Movements. Thats close to home here. I wonder if this is just required maint or improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted November 1, 2020 #52 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Double posting this, also in the Ship movements thread; Lots of crew embarking on Joy on FB; https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pier 15 South Harbor, Manila/237776779594189/ Pier side booths for testing, crew in protective gear, lots of suitcases, all posted the last few days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oteixeira Posted November 1, 2020 #53 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Interesting that in the mix of posts on that page each day has at least 1 ambulance transfer from ship to hospital. Are they testing procedures there, or are they having a few folks that need more care? Anyway, I am glad that things are working over there, they are staffing up, and it looks like the local hospitals and transports are in sync with the cruise lines and helping rather then running scared like every country did this spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, my guess is a no-risk operation. I noticed it too but who knows how many crew are on board at the moment, perhaps their own medical center is closed or low on staff or social distanced beds. Could be normal numbers you normally don't notice.. hopefully. Another post was a transfer for the captain's eyes/vision check up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted November 1, 2020 #55 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The Joy is presently far out to sea and about 300 miles from Manila. The typhoon just passed through the PI giving Manila a glancing blow. However, where it did track it left massive flooding and destruction. The Joy has been hanging out in and around Manila since about June, I believe. And unfortunately, the PI is again experiencing a rapid increase of Covid cases, not unlike most of the rest of us.

Cruise Wonderland Posted November 9, 2020 #58 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Not sure how many more days is Joy still staying in Manila, but another storm Vamco is coming. It is a new one... the 4th storm affecting the Philippines over the past few weeks. Edited November 9, 2020 by Cruise Wonderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ships sailed away from Manila because Typhoon/Hurricane Vamco (Cat 2) is now heading to Manila. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
