I guess she would now be getting prepared for Alaska. The Solstice's 2022/23 Asia season has just been cancelled, along with the Millienium's Asia season as well. There goes another of our cruises as we were to cruise Japan and South Korea in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes..,here we go again..,we were book on celebrity for a Japan cruise in April 23..,,this was the 3rd Japan cancellation. i think as their boat was to return to the US via Russia they are not taking any chances. the last time we were in St Petersburg there were 6/cruise ships there! Can you imagine the lost of income and jobs in that area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the lost of income and jobs in that area! The Japan cruise was using FCCs which was the 3rd attempt at using them from previous cruises which got cancelled, late 2020, and 2 in late 2021and now this one. As for Russia, I am not sure they played much part in the 2022/23 Asia cruise season being cancelled by X. But yes, Russia will be missing the tourism $s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare arxcards Posted April 12, 2022 #1284 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Pacific Adventure left Cyprus for Italy yesterday. The reason they gave me when they cancelled my Adventure booking was that Explorer was ready to go and that Adventure & Encounter both had modifications yet to be completed, with specific mention of the water slides. I presume that is what they have lined-up in Italy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted April 12, 2022 #1285 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I believe the Booby (pilot) has landed. Pacific Explorer is 25 mins out of date for her satellite position, but it looked like the pilot has crossed her intended path during that time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She stayed well wide of Thursday Island and missed a possible ping there. It looks like she is heading for the Asia to East Coast shipping lane, so is not going to ping passing Cairns either. She is close to PNG, but is she misses a ping from Port Moresby tonight, she will be in the terrestrial shadows until the Sunshine Coast on Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewgood Posted April 13, 2022 #1292 Share Posted April 13, 2022 She must be making sure from now that she stays well clear of Australian waters before the 17th. 😁 (just joking) I don't know what happened when she rounded the tip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
