Rare mom says Posted June 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Could only read the first couple of paragraphs- the rest required subscription. But good for them. They've gotten their COVID numbers well controlled, and don't need a 2nd wave brought in by tourists. I hope our country folloiws suit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted June 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think you may see this in multiple countries going forward. I can't imagine any country allowing visitors from the US any time in the near future. Not only is there a chance of importing COVID-19, there is a good chance of importing visitors who will refuse to obey the mandates (masks/social distancing/other requirements) that these countries have instituted. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted June 23, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am so grateful that we did an Aus & NZ cruise in March 2018. It was amazing. Probably no chance to go there maybe for the next year and possibly much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_coach Posted June 24, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Now Europe is talking about closing to Americans. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/23/world/europe/coronavirus-EU-American-travel-ban.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin23 Posted June 24, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2020 It will be some time before Australia opens borders to tourists, definitely not this year. The only exception will be a travel bubble with New Zealand and possibly the Pacific Islands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted June 24, 2020 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2020 At least French Polynesia has opened for visitors and cruises. Hopefully they won’t start to exclude folks from the U.S. Luckily many of the U.S. states have followed social distancing and wear masks in public. In Maryland we are pleased with our COVID status but we need to start stopping travelers from the more infected areas down south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
