Workers?

 

My cabin attendant said a number of her cabins including mine would have two contractors in each of them, boarding in Barcelona.  She will be on regular duty as a cabin attendant for them.

There should be no one getting on - she's supposed to go to dry dock.

Rumor at departure was not many contractors available. Most were Italian. May just do the 5 year cert and return to Florida.

 

Merely speculation. But I didn't see many folks boarding at 10 am

Marinetraffic shows her arriving Cadiz on Sunday morning but she was supposed to have left already but still at the pier.

May your travels be as stress-free as possible, @twangster and @John&LaLa 

 

I hope to hear you have all returned safe and sound.

In my Heathrow airport hotel now, flight to Dallas in the morning.  Passport has Spain same day entry and exit stamps so we'll see how this goes tomorrow.

 

Dallas is one of the airports designated for American Citizens returning from Europe so there should be no problem at all.

Checked in all the way to Miami.  👍✈

 

Las Ramblas is fairly quiet, but still bustling.

 

Taxi stand outside of hotel

 

Had dinner across the street.

 

Sorry @Andy C didn't seek out your breakfast 

 

Good night, getting up at 3am

Safe travels home. We live not too far from you guys in Viera. Brace yourself when you get home. Publix and Target are like Thunderdome and shelves are bare of supplies. You might want to see if you can get an Amazon delivery done now if you need some things at home.

Looks like a beautiful city! Sleep good you've got a long day a head of you. Wishing you luck.

Things are like that here in the midwest. Good thing Bella is not a cat. Saw a guy at Sam's Club with 6 40lb tubs of cat litter in his cart. A friend of mine said all the stores he went to were sold out of cat litter. Yikes!

[bobmacliberty]

Having so few people on La Rambla should make it easier to spot the pickpockets.  🤣  Safe travels home.

What is it with cat litter and toilet paper? This virus doesn't even cause diarrhea.

As long as they fix the pod Allure is welcome back the way she is. I like her just fine.

Agreed but then what to do with those amped ship models. Collector items.

People freaking out that they will be homebound for months like in the movies.

Already had a stockpile of cat litter, dry cat food, and canned cat food.

 

Also already have plenty of TP, paper towels, hand sanitizer, food in freezer, generators, bread, eggs.  Could use some milk and gas for the generators.

 

Had all this before the panic started.  Just my normal stock up when it's on a super sale or clearance.

My daughter is in Madrid and has a flight home tomorrow.  She said that Spain will/has declared a state of emergency.  Not sure what that means.  Looks though like she will need to self-quarantine for 14 days after getting home since she has been in Spain.  Hope that doesn't apply to John, Twangster and others on the cruise.

IMHO .... Self-quarantine should apply to everyone who has been in Spain whether you fly home from Spain or another country.

Or for anyone who has been in a state with a hot zone.  Euro CV is no better or worse compared to US CV.  I avoided flying through Seattle for this reason.

Even if they do, they’re off on another cruise within a month LOL.

I’ve heard the reason. If you hear a cough,  everyone poops. 

 

I’d say this seems about right.
