cruiser man 60 Posted March 6, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2020 https://www.thephuketnews.com/government-publishes-danger-zone-six-list-75148.php?fbclid=IwAR04lg_eDV5u8WUwo5Vhw4KoT7awiF8WDqVaDBAcoKW9J00ohSpRm6Gdvto Costa fortuna just refused in Phuket because Italians on board so unless they ban them completely all Costa ships will have problems everywhere as lots of countries worldwide have banned them entering.

Ryalie1 Posted March 6, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2020 If anyone has any more info on this or knows where I can find out I'd really appreciate it. Due to fly to Singapore on Sunday morning for Fortuna's next cruise - Cambodia and Vietnam already cancelled so if we can't dock in Thailand that's the entire original itinerary gone. If that's the case, I'm not flying out. (Does anyone know if that would automatically trigger a refund, or can they literally change every port and not owe us anything?) Their customer services are of course now closed until Monday. I don't want to fly all the way to Singapore and then find it's cancelled...

tenpin Posted March 7, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I the T & C's they can cancel any port of call without notice if there is a danger to passengers or docking. We have had this twice over the years, mainly through rough weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted March 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2020 My cousin just go home to Australia from a 14 night cruise on the Fortuna Singapore round Asia and back to Singapore... His wife is sick and they have been quarantined for 14 days at home, awaiting test results..... there was only about 50 Australians on board.... and a lot of people left the ship before the end of the cruise to fly home.... So not a good cruise.. Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell sparkle Posted March 8, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I know people currently on board and they have missed several ports. They are allowed back in Singapore as planned and will be getting 500 euro on board credit plus 1600 towards a future cruise. No sign of any illness on board.

dritan Posted March 8, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2020 That's good of Costa given that this has been based on decisions by Thailand and Malaysian govts. PLeased to hear everyone is feeling well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell sparkle Posted March 8, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Yes, everyone on board is apparently very pleased with the way it's been handled. It's hard to imagine how future cruises can now go ahead given they have just been denied entry to so many ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the best deal possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
