Langtoncouple Posted November 9, 2013 #26 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thank you Tizzy Jo and Thomsons for doing this. As we all have said the Fillipino crew are lovely warm people and so obliging. My thoughts and prayers are with them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzseeka Posted November 10, 2013 #30 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Just seen the news coverage. Heartbreaking! Such terrible carnage and no basics or communication in places. These poor, poor souls. And the crew must be beside themselves with worry and so distressed waiting for news. My heart goes out to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don26 Posted November 10, 2013 #31 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I can't stop thinking of all the Fillipino friends we have made on Dream, Celebration, Island Escape & especially Spirit Ihaven't been on Majesty, but obviously i must include them also) .) & how they must be affected by the terrible news coming from the Phillipines. I sincerely hope that Thomsons & all ships which have Fillipino crew members are doing the right thing & treating them with compassion in what must be an horrific time for them.

Little Nell Posted November 10, 2013 #32 Share Posted November 10, 2013 My thoughts are with the Filipino people. The news film is absolutely horrific. The Filipino crew on the Thomson ships are the loveliest people who always perform their duties with a winning smile and have made our cruises so extra special. They always find a place in your heart. I hope the international community can urgently get relief to those who need it. This must be a desperate time for those who are away from their families and can't contact them because communications are down. Thank you Tizzy-Jo for speaking for all of us.

Julessmiles Posted November 11, 2013 #37 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes, well done all :) It looks dreadful & good to see the UK are donating a substantial amount of aid to help. I have made contact with some of the Filipino staff who work on the ships & so far all their families are safe - I only hope this it true for them all but with so many affected in the country, who knows? Quite a few of them are flying back from the UK from the Celebration today to the Phillipines - hope they are able to get flights back & hope it is not going to be too awful for them to go home to :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Scorpion Posted November 11, 2013 #39 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just watching the coverage on the BBC. My first thought is that the friends and family of those fabulous crew members who make my holiday such a joy should not meet such a fate. My next thought is that nobody's loved ones should meet such a fate. I am no fan of the Government but I am glad that they are giving £10m of aid to help. Now it's my turn. I am off to find a charity appeal to make a donation. If I can afford to go on cruises I can afford to make a donation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunn3rs3 Posted November 13, 2013 #45 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Our thoughts go out to all the Phillipino crew on all the ships just not Thomsons.they are far away from home and probably no way of contacting their loved ones to make sure they are safe. we are also thinking of the many crew on Spirit that we know,especially Sam,Rambo Ritchie,Elvis and his wife Shine, I do have Shines mail address so may try and get a message through to her,sending all of our thoughts from the members on here. Will also be making a donation soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomagot Posted November 14, 2013 #48 Share Posted November 14, 2013 well done tizzy.....some crew do read these boards (facebook also) (not allowed to answer tho....social media policy?) yes my heart goes out to all affected crew members who are far from home....donations are being very gratefully recieved at reception....the crew welfare fund is probaly under some pressure at the moment...I believe the company are doing everything they can (a very good job imo) I would like to say .......we are heartbroken for you, we are thinking of you and our hearts go out to you....we hope and pray that those who I have met and spoken to this last week will hear good news soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
