Truth be told.......  they were all refused into any Australian ports despite repeated requests, hence, they had no option but to take their crew members home.

I’m ashamed at the Australian action.

The lovely crew that waits on us and we have #hit on them.

It is happening in the US too, Chilburn. I think it is nice that Royal Caribbean is using their ships for a useful purpose like repatriating their crew.

I know.

We are pretty well on top of the situation here, I think?

You would think we could offer some care and assistance to those lovely crew.

Pretty selfish.

Australia's ugly face. 

Hope the cruise lines will remember in the future, but I fear money prevails

Spectrum, Voyager and Radiance all have Bali as destination in AIS.

Hopefully they all remain healthy during those sailing.

USA has made the choice to bing them into port. so this comment has become moot.

What would you expect from carnival.

Theres now a criminal investigation and Ruby isn’t going anywhere.

 

But even the ships that are here year round have been told to get their bat and ball and go home.

Where do these flagged-by-convenience ships go?  Their "home" can't accommodate all these ships at once.

And the registration ports are on the other side of the world.

 

The maritime unions are complaining about the treatment of the crews.

Im not a unionist but they  do stick up for the little guy.

Have they done anything about there pay ?

The ships have a lot to answer, that s why there is a homicide investigation into the issue and still passengers are spreading the virus and dropping like flies. There own people do not want them , they are protesting there return and taking there photos and video recording and abusing them .

Haven’t seen you on the Australian forum.

Theres a troll on there  you would like.

[Roger88]

Hope these guys are doing well and will be home soon. I find it disgusting that they were not allowed to land. At least they could put them on quarntine for awhile and support them with food and water delivery. Instead, they wasted their time on the ship which was not event operating. Why is that? And now they are waiting to be shipped home. People should take care more about each other. Hope the rest of the cews out there dont face similar problems

Thank you for your kind words ,telling me I would like a troll . God speed to you and your family and hope you all do not need one of the ICU beds . Do you know how many we have ? 

[Hogbay]

2229 ventilation machine 

then blood pressure falls more machines 

then kidneys.. dialysis machine and nursing 24hr and Dr in a isolated room , no family visitors... 

There will still be car accidents ,heart attacks and birth complications....

RIP another passing 🙏

Nobody wants your darn rare Australian ventilation machines. Crew and guests only wanted to fly home immediately. A convoy to the airports would have done Australia and NZ a better deal. Now the world has seen your inhumanity and ugly government which you have elected.

Tourists are being refrained from repatriation and are locked in a country they do not want to stay in. My air force was standing by and my national carrier on the expense of my government were not allowed to land in Australia and NZ to pick up stranded tourists and crew. The air force had converted 2 A310 to ICU version to get the sick home- Australia did not allow. 15000 of my countrymen in Australia and 10000 in NZ are locked up even 3 weeks after the outbreak. 

Yesterday finally NZ allowed 3 national A380 and 3 B747 to land and pick up  tourists after a long diplomatic spat.

So do not wine about your ventilation machines just let the people fly home and that includes the crew that has pampered you guys during the happy day sailings.

Australia is a shame and it takes a long time to re-build reputation.

[Coralc]

Wow. 

[Biker19]

Meanwhile, AIS is showing a bit more detail on the ships which have left - Voyager, Spectrum and Ovation due in Indonesia, 4/15, 16 and 19 respectively, while Radiance to Singapore on 4/15.

It's not just tourists. They wont let their own Australian crew get off the ships, crew that had just been giving Australian's free cruises...
