Captain just announced that all ships in Oceania’s fleet will immediately begin full on sanitation procedures, which sounds like Code Red.  He said they will begin a complete sanitization of the ship immediately.  

Kitty....was the gym open for use?

On regattaWe are currently on Regatta in the South Pacific and we had the announcement of code red,  level 2 this morning. Interesting that it’s across the whole fleet, reassuring in some ways as Sounds like there is no specific threat to any ship, just precautionary?

The code red cleaning regime (across the O fleet, and over on Regent as well) is presumably to help reduce the spread of germs/virus that MAY be onboard.

Something that apparently the Doctor on the Diamond Princess didn't enact (but should have) when notified by the Hong Kong health authorities that a passenger who disembarked was diagnosed with Covid 19.  If Princess had done its job the cruise industry may not have had the bad press it is currently suffering from.

Latest is we have been diverted back to Papeete and currently in dock until Sunday. Allowed to disembark ship as we want to , so this is about South Pacific countries banning cruises rather than an issue on Regatta. We have been told we can stay on ship until 8pm Sunday 15th so guessing next cruise won’t be happening . We are hoping we get back to uk ok on Sunday.
