Rare MMDown Under Posted June 2, 2017 #53 Share Posted June 2, 2017 No doubt they feel the city can still cater for them and can use the tourist dollars. I suppose some tours would not be affected to badly. There was a lady buying lots of things at Vinnies Op Shop, who told me she was taking her purchases to Sri Lanka for flood victims.. She didn't think the flooding would cause the ship to not call at Colombo, as landslides and flooding were to the south and in the country. Small world.

By The Bay Posted June 2, 2017 #54 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Another statistic from last night was that 79% are Aussies and Kiwi's make up 17%. The Captain will be making an announcement soon about our possible late arrival into Colombo. Will post any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted June 3, 2017 #60 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Did they say where the other 3% were from? Hope everyone has a wonderful time in Colombo, after so many sea days. Probably the other 3% were Brits, doing Sydney to Dover.:cool: Back to merry olde England.

Kiwi Kruzer Posted June 17, 2017 Author #74 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Are they going through at night or will they go through during daylight hours and get to see it.Just checked on Marine Traffic AIS and they have begun the transit...local time 5 am ,so they will have a daylight transit.You would not want to go all that way and then go through at night....;) You can see the convoy lining up behind them.

Rare MMDown Under Posted June 17, 2017 #75 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks David. I hope they have nice weather. I just finished reading a World Cruise blog on P&O's Aurora which had thick fog at the beginning of their transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
