Surely NCL won't be far away Actually not an impressive list at all. What, 19 ships? Only a handful can be compared to any NCL ship, and very limited at that. This is really just a toe in the water. Mainstream cruising is a long way off..... But, it’s nice to dream. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SpainAlien Posted September 6, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Impressive that any ships are sailing at all considering what is going on in the world 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger88 Posted September 6, 2020 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I got used to see like 10-15 ships being stationed somewhere in the middle of nowhere. It looks weird to me knowing that the crews on board and just doing pretty much nothing waiting for a high command. Cant wait when the life will come to normal and all these ships will sail to their points of destination 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare eileeshb Posted September 6, 2020 #8 Share Posted September 6, 2020 With the majority of that list sailing in Europe you can be sure there’ll be news coverage quickly if any outbreaks happen. There was already and outbreak in a ship in Norway, and there’s been passengers refused embarkation and return to the ship in Italy . The embarkation was a result of rapid testing while the port of call refusal was because the guests didn’t follow in-port guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s being reported on other boards that crew members for several major cruise lines have been given notice to report for work at the end of the September to begin cruising in November. Also, Riviera Maya News reported that 6 cruise lines are also in talks with the Mexican government to begin cruises in November. They said that they are ready to accept cruise ships. I know that this doesn’t mean that cruising is indeed beginning in November, but it does seem like more and more things are aligning to make it happen sooner rather than later. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The embarkation refusal was unfortunate but the testing caught it, which was a good thing. And the MSC thing in Naples was guest stupidity and again, the system worked as it should— they didn’t follow the rules and were booted.

EllieinNJ Posted September 8, 2020 #18 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Someone is doing a "LIVE" report on the current cruise sailing out of Italy on the MSC forum. Should be interesting. She showed the list of the ship's excursions and they don't look too bad or expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one of our three promising vaccine trials put on hold today; and the US recently decided not to participate in global vaccine development, thereby decreasing our chances of success.
