Thanks - Excellent news - hope it stays that way.

Maybe Majestic has not yet reported the numbers to the appropriate authorities, apart from Tahiti.

 

Let us live in hope.

We certainly don't want it to escalate to Code Brown

Is it only NSW that posts this info?

Can't seem to find any reference to cruise ships out of Brisbane.

Hope that's not the case Uncle Les😱 though we do have time before we board so fingers crossed it's all under control but then.

I hope so too. Fingers crossed.

As far as I know it is only NSW Government that provides this information.

 

Here is the actual  link

I was hoping that New Zealand had a similar site but have been unable to locate one so far

Jacinta A. Will be monitoring closely.

As mentioned, I am surprised Majestic has a status with NSW authorities. They don't report their communicable illnesses until the day before arrival - 19th October.

Yes that was the only one I could find too.

 

I noted that the US version has been discontinued as evidently no one was complying with standard protocols, so is was abandoned. 

 

Wish QLD did a version, be handy to see how P&O are fairing.

Perhaps an old one. Must be a few on Pacific Explorer.

But Pacific Adventure is not indicating anything.

Is it not cruising?

Majestic - iI guess when for her previous departure in 2019, she might have been green.

Well that scotches that then! Not surprised and hopefully by the time she gets here, it will be all systems Green. 👍

[austromyrtus]

for those on the majestic princess at the moment, just wondering if any enrichment lectures have been provided on sea days?

They were fitted in Europe before coming down. It was just delayed as part of their phased return to service.

 

Encounter missed out on getting slides

I'm surprised, must be costing them a packet to just sit there, and do nothing for income.

And hopefully not Red, otherwise it will be a Government forced  U turn back to Seattle, whence she came.🤐 Her reception from the NZ Government when she reaches Tauranga on 14 October will be an indicator as to her Covid state.😐

@Kiwi_cruiser

Are they doing Ultimate Balcony Dining?

 

We have booked one for the following cruise, but one of the Coral F&B managers said they weren't allowed to offer them on Coral.

But what if a ship rolls in with 300 Covid pax? What will Jacinta do?

Same with airplanes and anyone and everyone able to fly here, regardless of where they're from. Jacinda (with a "d") says our borders are open.
