flossie009 Posted May 8, 2020 #202 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Navigator now leaving Miami heading across the pond to Barcelona; scheduled arrival May 19 Looks like there are quite a few crew on board for the crossing Bon Voyage. Let’s hope they all have a safe, happy & healthy crossing ................... and are soon reunited with their families. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted May 8, 2020 #203 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hopefully Navigator is straight into dry dock after they have dropped off the crew. Any idea why Mariner and Regatta are heading to Oakland? Between Navigator taking their European crew and hopefully charters from Ensenada with their Asian crew, they should be down to about the same 125 crew that are on the Splendor.

jeb_bud Posted May 9, 2020 #204 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I wonder if the quarantine center is still open in Oakland. Maybe they’re planning to offload American crew into quarantine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrvlcruiser Posted May 10, 2020 #206 Share Posted May 10, 2020 One ship is the Mariner - do you know what the other two are? My secret wish: that the Mariner go into dry dock soon - over the summer - as opposed to at the end of the 21WC and then the ship could return to the US in May, at the end of that trip - as opposed to our flying home from Barcelona.🤞🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crusin7 Posted May 12, 2020 #209 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I spoke to a crew member who was on the Navigator. There is still 450-500 Regent crew who transferred from the Navigator and Mariner and are on the Norwegian Joy. They are still in Los Angeles. Obviously getting antsy to go home. They have no idea when that will be. I asked if they will sail home. They said no fly, but have no sense of when airports will open. There are many nationalities aboard. It must be very frustrating for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One has to wonder, after this ordeal and the uncertainties ahead, if some may choose not to return to a job aboard a cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelcat2 Posted May 12, 2020 #214 Share Posted May 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Pcardad said: At least they get free internet now. You're right. But, they don't get to stay in the luxurious passenger suites that Regent has and let them stay in. I didn't realize until I read the post that said that the crew from the Navigator are now on NCL. I'm guessing that the crew had free internet on Regent as well. Plus, they were getting Regent quality food. After being on NCL, they will likely appreciate their jobs on Regent even more! If I try to be positive, perhaps the crew can take advantage of the games offered on NCL ships but even that becomes old after a while (says a Regent loyalist that has sailed on the NCL Bliss). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrvlcruiser Posted May 12, 2020 #215 Share Posted May 12, 2020 There is some very senior Staff on the Joy with our Crew. I'm sure they are making sure that everything is going well for everyone. Peggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flossie009 Posted May 19, 2020 #224 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Navigator arrived in Gibraltar this morning and is now at anchor. Voyager is steaming through the Gulf of Aden, accompanied by Norwegian Jade, en route to the Suez Canal. A long & depressing article from the Miami Herald regarding cruise ship crew repatriation: Miami Herald, May 17 No doubt the article contains factual information but I suspect the journalist has “an agenda” regarding the cruise industry. Much of the article seems to be a rehash of information published elsewhere about 3 weeks ago. Edited May 19, 2020 by flossie009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted May 19, 2020 #225 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Navigator is on the move again. She didn't stay long in Gibraltar and is now on the way to Barcelona (ETA Thurs 21st). Presumably Navigator called in to Gib for supplies and maybe to drop off some crew: Gibraltar Chronicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
