Why do you ask?

Just read that Maasdam and an NCL ship (no sick on board) have been turned away from Hawaii. Won’t even let them disembark to go directly to airport. Note: this was not a disembarkation port for either ship.

Here’s the link

CC apparently won’t let me post the news article from 2 hrs ago.

Thanks for sharing, @JVilleGal. My aunt and uncle (in-law) are on the Grand World Voyage on the Amsterdam. They live in Hawaii. I hope they will be allowed to go home.

Hopefully San Diego will let Maasdam disembark

If they won't, Puerto Vallarta is Plan B

I really hope this doesn't mess things up but just found on Flight Aware that maybe 4 hours ago Quantas announced a stoppage of all international flights. Its a CNN article.

Since they will continue to fly until the end of March, hopefully everyone who needs to get out will be able to do so.

That's good as I hadn't read the article. Just wanted to post it quick to pass it on. Those leaving the World Cruise I would want to be getting off and starting home ASAP.  Its not what they want to have to do but things are changing faster than people can keep up with.

It's a great airport.  We had no problems when we were off the Rotterdam on Sunday.

Re Post 157, I just heard from Aunt J. They will disembark tomorrow, have a hotel for two nights in Perth, then fly to Honolulu. She didn't mention getting to her island, but I imagine that's handled as well.

 

Here's hoping they and others are able to get home safely soon.

With our aviation connections (adopted by Delta from NWA) was a punch in the gut to see the pictures of closed runways at Atlanta because they are being used to park out of service Delta equipment. ATL is also the world headquarters for Delta with other pretty large hubs at MSP and DTW because of the merger with NWA. Out of the scheduled 13 flights from ATL to TPA all canceled except 4 for today and that is based on FlightAware and subject to change. Its normal to have hourly flights between ATL & TPA but not now.

 

Red Tails Forever!

 

Stay Safe.
