scorpluvsdolphins Posted March 14, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I guess the Independence and other ships sailing in April will be choosing another port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted March 14, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2020 There are a lot of ports closing for longer than the 30 days. I think that it will be inevitable that the general cancellations by cruise lines will be extended beyond the 30 days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every port in Canada closed to July 1 Port of Seattle closed to July 1 Grand Cayman 60 days I'm sure more will follow. The part about the cruise line cancelling more sailings beyond the 30 days is my own personal feeling based on Port closures and how events are currently unfolding.

Where did you read that Grand Cayman was closing for 60 days? I tried googling it, but did not find it. I also went on the Grand Cayman cruise board, and did not see anything there either.

I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like it's going to be longer than 30 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless. GC is a minor player in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at China, they are now reporting next to nothing for new cases and I bet it’s still over a month or more (optimistic) before cruises resume there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can stay out to sea but due to the Jones' Act, I thought they had to make port on atleast one other non-US location before being permitted back to the US to disembark. Guess there could be a lot of sea days with a day in either Labadee or Coco Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger88 Posted March 14, 2020 #18 Share Posted March 14, 2020 In April you cannot be guaranteed a port. Thats the thing. Baltic states, New Zealand and Scandinavia are closing their ports till like summer or smth. Latvia has just closed its border today, New has done the same yesterday. I would say the only viable paths at the moment are the ones located in the Caribbean and towards Russia lol. The most untouched regions at the moment. Or you can just stay at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like Seattle is not officially closing, but will basically have no cruise ships because Canada is closing.

Ourusualbeach Posted March 14, 2020 #21 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Whether or not Seattle closes its port, if the Canadian ports close it makes round trip Alaska sailing illegal under the PVSA as they cannot stop at a foreign port. That is unless a waiver to the PVSA is granted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that but that is for the cruise lines to decide and not officials at Port of Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the cruise lines either as it would be a violation of the PVSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
