Whoever approved the release from the NL government must be feeling a bit boob-like right now. At least the UK government advisory contained just enough weasel words (plans to AND no exact date) to allow for a change of plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the weasel words were justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the real 'story' here was the amount of angst, anxiety and discussion that took place following the less than totally reliable revelation that the implementation of EES was imminent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise ships present an interesting challenge to the implementation….I became interested in this topic when the rollout was scheduled for Nov 10….assuming our ship cleared Greek customs on the 8th when we docked in Corfu, then proceeding to Mykonos on the 10th and finally disembarking in Athens then on to the airport to catch my direct flight home to Canada…..wondered how this new process might affect my departure….a few posts back I became content that there would be some allowance to prevent airports to become overwhelmed and allow passengers to make their flights…that being the priority…..we shall see….I’m hoping things will be delayed enough for us to get out of Dodge with just the usual airport hassles….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
