Jack McGowan Posted May 19, 2020 #177 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Also I wonder if they will decide to fly crew to India rather than sail there, then Anthem can get into dry dock, unless of course they have moved the dry dock to Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorehaven Posted May 19, 2020 #178 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) BBC online news reported today that three cruise ships are due at King George V docks in Shieldhall next month. It goes on to state that all three will have around 40 crew, have been deep cleaned and are Covid free and also have been on the high seas for at least two weeks prior to arriving on the Clyde. The article also stated that requests had been made to lay up ships at Greenock but the local council oppose the idea.

Given its current speed and typical transit times, I'd say arrival should be by Saturday. I assume the staff due to fly from Explorer must be almost done - she's in Bridgetown again today. Looks like X Reflection is also on the way to Barbados - BGI will be a busy place over the next couple of weeks.

I think they said every 3 days for flights. I never noticed the 2 flights lift from MIAmi back to Madrid, so they may still be on ground. They had one Wamos flight heading for Bagram Air Base last night, but that must have been for US military. Enchantment is a day ahead of Freedom on way to Barbados. Liberty was in Miami last night and Symphony today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philippine Airlines A350 now heading from BGI Bridgetown to LAX before heading on to Manila. Wamos flight from Madrid heading to BGI. iAero Airways a 'First Class' luxury charter company out of Miami has been flying several aircraft back and forth between Miami and Barbados and would seem to be related to repatriation activity. https://www.iaeroairways.com/ Edited May 21, 2020 by MADflyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwestgal Posted May 21, 2020 #191 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I would of thought the cruise lines would of worked together and combining crew from all the ships by country and work on getting them home , especially the ones that are sailing them home . Maybe there’s a reason they couldn’t or maybe they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msc Fantasia was going to Algeciras and changed to Genoa. C Breeze was Rome now going to Dubrovnik. In Scotland, we start coming out of lockdown on May 28th. Highest number of Covid is in Inverclyde. That's where Azamara Pursuit is heading. The local council don't want any ships, so that might change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival Magic went to Dubrovnik following her technical stop at Gibraltar. Maybe they are doing a crew transfer at Dubrovnik as Breeze took on all the crew from Carnival Victory at Cadiz.

Wamos has been working heavily for governments as well including the UK and Germany to repatriate their citizens. They were even used for the original evacuation from Wuhan in January. I was hoping they were taking crew out from the Philippines on the return flights, but it does not seam to be happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
