[shepherd really]

Heard some chatter about Regatta heading to Vanuatu to provide some aid after the island was hit by an earthquake and two cyclones.

 

anyone have any details?

Would you be so kind as to share them?

Captain Ressa just doing what any good merchant mariner would do.

On a social media site that cruise critic doesn’t like us to name.

Per my reliable source: Vanuatu Emergency Services has declined Regatta assistance. Only government/military aid allowed for now. 
We’re heading to Fiji.

Thank you for your kind thought.
 

But, other than some “rock ‘n roll” that is great for falling right to sleep at night, we’ve avoided getting the brunt all of the weather issues. 

 

That said, we’ve missed a total of only three ports since we boarded in mid-February (Napier, Norfolk Island and Vanuatu). Obviously, all were significant weather/sea conditions. And yet, I expect that we’ll hear some grumbling from a handful of passengers who blame O for Mother Nature’s trickery and want compensation for this/that/the other thing.
