Lirio Posted March 26, 2020 Author #253 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Below is the link to two ships of Ponant that docked in Rio. The were 20 days (coming from Antarctica) at sea with no COvid-19 case, and no port accepted them. I do not follow Ponant, so I was not aware of them, Glad my city accepted both ships. We should never forget our humanity. https://www.portosenavios.com.br/noticias/navegacao-e-marinha/dois-navios-pedem-ajuda-ao-brasil-devido-ao-coronavirus-um-deles-ja-atracou-no-rio Any news from Roma? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lirio Posted March 26, 2020 Author #255 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I regret to inform that the Canadian guest passed away early today. His wife is getting better but is still in the hospital, according to Globonews. It was also informed that Silver Shadow sailed away this morning to Cabo Verde. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, two French-flagged ships requested humanitarian aid from Brazil in order to be able to dock and remove their passengers to their countries of origin. After receiving authorization from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), the first of them, the L'Austral cruise, docked this Tuesday (24th) in the Port of Rio de Janeiro and removed 252 passengers. None of them showed symptoms of the new virus. Anvisa reported that the ship was at sea, without docking at any other port, for more than 20 days, that is, a period longer than that recommended for isolation, without cases on board. For the removal of passengers, Anvisa demanded that everyone use protective equipment. The measure aimed to protect passengers, in view of the community transmission already confirmed in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The ship is currently anchored in front of Copacabana Beach awaiting the arrival of the second ship, Le Boreal, which should dock at the port on Wednesday afternoon (25). Both will make a technical stop to supply water and food and will continue together back to France, country of origin of the vessels. This Wednesday Le Boreal completes 10 days of sailing without having docked in any other port. There are also no reports of suspected coronavirus cases on board. However, disembarkation will only be authorized from tomorrow (26), provided that all health conditions required by the agency are maintained. Anvisa also stated that the disembarkation should happen as the return flights are available to passengers. Transportation takes place directly, that is, from the ship's door to the airport. By means of a note, the Píer Mauá Terminal, in the Port of Rio de Janeiro, informed that there are 324 passengers aboard Le Boreal, 124 of whom are guests. There is also the presence of elderly people. The terminal also highlighted that passengers board the available buses as soon as they leave the ship, without passing through the Pier Mauá. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your updates Lirio. You noted the Shadow is sailing to Cabo Verde. That indicates she's probably heading toward to Athens where she is scheduled to begin sailing again with passengers on May 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that on May 14 all this situation about covid-19 will have finished? I am booked on May 29 on cloud from dublin to Reykyavik. I havent canceled but I am sceptical that this will have finished. Edited March 26, 2020 by Lirio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzibroad Posted March 26, 2020 #259 Share Posted March 26, 2020 So sorry to hear the news about the Canadian guest. All we heard until Sunday was that he was improving. Also, we did not hear that his wife had the infection. We were told he had some pre-existing condition. Sad for his wife, alone, away from home . No word from Roma. I wonder how you are Roma? Thinking of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowornever Posted March 27, 2020 #263 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Thanks Lirio. Very sad to hear about the passenger who became ill. We'll keep fingers crossed for your cruise. Wasn't that video from Roberto a bit overly dramatic considering they have May cruises planned? Roma, wishing you the best, please keep us posted.

Crusue Posted March 29, 2020 #265 Share Posted March 29, 2020 On 3/24/2020 at 2:25 PM, Ozzibroad said: Typical Trump, stealing all the credit for the governments. We know the truth. Silverseas must have paid out millions on this exercise. They would have paid the overtime for the 20+ police motorcyclists , bus, police car in front, airport staff, charter flights, then when we got to Sydney a SS Rep met us with a package ''breakfast'' and domestic Business class tickets to our home cities and assisted us to thecheckin , the buses , then rang a day later to see if we arrived safely. Not all other travel suppliers have been so ethical or caring, I do hope Roma gets home OK and am sure sh e will be looked after, as we were. So sad one has to drag politics into this....please keep your biasis to yourself! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former had 35 crew member with covid-19. The second had no one infected. In both cruses guests have already gone before. Both are at Santos Port in Sao Paulo.

Ozzibroad Posted April 3, 2020 #273 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi all, The silence is not good. I wonder if Silverseas itself can give advice as to what happened to Roma.
