From the reports I've seen from crew it's heading to Manila after passing Indonesia with arrival on the 18th, but they are unsure as to what will happen when they get there.

Phil Phil, I'm interested in your "reports from crew" - quite interested, in fact, to know if particular F&B folks have made it safely back to their homes. One young man shared much conversation and laughter with us on recent cruises, as he keeps birds, and dogs, and planned his contracts to maximize time spent at his home with these favored friends. We so enjoyed exchanging bird stories with him, and are concerned about his welfare. Link to post Share on other sites

excitedofharpenden Posted April 17, 2020 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Journey is showing on Marine Traffic in Benoa Bali and looks like at least some of the local crew are being allowed off. This is good news. Phil 5 Link to post Share on other sites

excitedofharpenden Posted April 17, 2020 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just a note that Spectrum of the Seas appears to have picked up some of the Journey crew and is heading ultimately to Manila, so some (or all) of the Filipinos are going home. Ovation is in the area too, but I do not know what is happening there. At least some are going to see family. Phil 4 Link to post Share on other sites

excitedofharpenden Posted April 18, 2020 #10 Share Posted April 18, 2020 All the Filipinos are on Spectrum to Manila and the rest of the international crew have gone to Ovation. They don't know when they'll be back home. Could be 10 days. Could be a month. They don't know. I'm sure it was very emotional waving cheerio to Journey. 😔 Phil 4 Link to post Share on other sites

For some there will be a quarantine period to go though, but I'm happy they are on the way home. I'm sad for their future however. Very uncertain right now. 😔 Phil 3 Link to post Share on other sites
travelinjudy Posted April 18, 2020 #13 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thanks for the info, Phil. I've been so concerned about them and hadn't heard anything. Like you I'm relieved and happy they will be headed home. I'm broken hearted that they may never get a chance to sail again. 😢 2 Link to post Share on other sites
snowglobe Posted April 19, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Does anyone know what will be done with the ships themselves. where they will ultimately go to wait it out? I assume that this will also affect Journey’s planned dry dock. Edited April 19, 2020 by snowglobe Link to post Share on other sites
