I’ve read on social media that Explorer is missing stops in New Zealand and Australia due to fungus on her hull. Can anyone currently on Explorer explain what is happening and when the situation is expected to be remediated? Thanks.
From reading the letter it appears it is a 50% refund and a 50% future cruise credit. It must be so disappointing for the passengers on board, however, they have still received all of the Regent 'hotel' facilities (unlike when a cruise is cancelled) so it seems reasonable to me.
it would appear though that these extremely strict biofouling rules are going to have a significant impact on all future cruise by all cruise lines to this area of the world.
