Hot Chilli Posted May 25, 2009 #26 Share Posted May 25, 2009 CanRaiders - I hope your friends are on board and not stuck on the wharf. If only you could contact them to get the inside word. Can't imagine how frustrating it must be for the people not on the ship yet. Feel so bad for them :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanRaiders Posted May 25, 2009 #27 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yeah I am really hoping they are on board. Last cruise they went one, my friend was sick and spent most of the time in her cabin or the hospital with asthma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be in whitsundays in three days . ps, just what the nine news . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckiePuris Posted May 25, 2009 #40 Share Posted May 25, 2009 The two children confirmed to have swine flu, were they disembarking or embarking? Were the remaining passengers allowed to board or did the ship only sail with those that already boarded? Are the passengers onboard under 7 day quarantine? Does this mean that the ship will not stop at any ports?? Any info much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ela 2 Posted May 25, 2009 #43 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I found the following statements in the NSW Health Department statement very interesting - For people on the cruise to Queensland departing Sydney 25 May 2009 - People who have respiratory symptoms should be isolated for 7 days ... For people on the cruise which arrived in Sydney on 25 May 2009 People with symptoms ... placed in isolation for 7 days after onset of illness. People who reported contact with people with symptoms on board the cruise ... placed in isolation for 7 days after leaving the ship. People without symptoms .. must remain in quarantine until 7 days after leaving the cruise ship on 25 May 2009. This makes it look as if everyone who came off the Pacific Dawn has to remain in quarantine for seven days. We will undoubtedly hear what is happening. Evon.

I hope the swine flu problem is sorted out very quickly. I can see this being a major problem for future cruises. I hope there are no suspected cases of swine flu on the Pacific Sun, due to arrive in Brisbane tomorrow morning. Evon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Evon, if everyone off the ship has to place themselves in quarantine..what must the interstate and country passengers do ?... they wouldn't be able to fly, train or bus home.. that would be mixing with other people stay at a hotel or similar..I suppose. kind regards, Lorraine:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they were given masks to use while in transit? There was one report of the 120 (I think it was 120) Gold Coast people who came off the ship being checked by Queensland Health. I suppose responsibility for the Q'ld residents has been handed over to Q'ld Health. Hope there aren't any problems with disembarkation of the Pacific Sun tomorrow. Our daughter and her boyfriend are on it and they each have their own small business to get back to. Evon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzy77 Posted May 26, 2009 #47 Share Posted May 26, 2009 You have to feel sorry for those who have just disembarked as they have been left in limbo. Passengers were allowed to fly home to their own states which I find amazing and told to quarantine themselves for 7 days. Who is supposed to oversee that they do this?:confused: I would also have thought that they would have had the Thermal Imagine Camera as the passengers disembarked to check for those who were sick.

This_Beats_Working Posted May 26, 2009 #48 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yet the same Pacific Dawn staff that arrived yesterday would have departed last night. I assume they haven't been self-quaranteened for 7 days. Makes this whole situation quite ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisekids009 Posted May 26, 2009 #49 Share Posted May 26, 2009 i'm going on her in august, and hope this has all sorted itself out by then seeing as we are taking the kids, and wont be impressed if we have paid 5grand for a cruise thats in quarrantine and has no ports. i would hope that if the situation is ongoing p&o give passengers the option to reshedule their cruises. What does this all mean for people boarding in the next few weeks???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention having to quarrantine yourself for 7 days afterwards :mad:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
