That's right, but Sue said ALL 2020. But as we are sailing P&O in August that's ok.🚢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the english lady Posted May 7, 2020 #78 Share Posted May 7, 2020 As Princess, along with all the american lines go back across the pond in the autumn we will not see them this year...except for allure of the seas which is hiding here. Whether they will come back next spring we will have to see. They might sell the cruises, but if there is no vaccine by then I cant see the British being able to cruise.

She did once manage to order 6 packets of spaghetti on one occasion but over the eight years until she passed away that was the only error. I will do but obviously I can’t go into their house at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majortom10 Posted May 7, 2020 #86 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Total list of Princess cancellations covering most parts of the world on their Facebook page including Alaska, Canada, New England and Europe for all of 2020 will P&O and Cunard follow suit. Personally cannot see any cruises leaving UK in 2020. Edited May 7, 2020 by majortom10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hand sanitiser machines outside restaurants and buffet areas and bottom of gangplank when you are at port. Many walk past them in buffet and restaurant and dont use them or if a member of staff is there and asks they usually say "ive just washed my hands" or "I am allergic to the liquid so cannot use it" and on returning to the ship from port visits at the bottom of the gangplank there is always security checking your cruise card well they should insist that everyone uses the gel. At the moment in my experience less than 20% use it. Cruise lines have got to get serious about more cleansing of the ship making sure everyone washes their hands after using the toilet, many dont, and insist that hand gel is used before entering any restaurant.

Adawn47 Posted May 7, 2020 #90 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I'm waiting to hear what Boris has to say on Sunday. It might gives us slightly more detail on what's to come. Anything that gives us a clue so we aren't relying on guess work and speculation for our holidays. I'm still hoping for our November cruise to go ahead.

He still wants to take his week off as he’s been working through whereas I was sent home for 3 weeks until my home working started. So I’m waiting to see whether to delay a week or two or take it!

We have never contracted norovirus on any ship since we began cruising 10 years ago, even though there have been serious outbreaks on 3 of them we were on. I hope i haven't just jinxed us😉. We have travelled for many many years all around the Far East, eaten from local street stalls and in villages and never been ill. You have to be responsible for your own personal hygiene. Even if others aren't careful with their own, as long as you are that's all that matters. Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care of your personal hygiene and protect yourself best you can from the ignorant slobs. Minimize the risk is all you can do. We take lots of holidays normally, about 5/6 a year. I have had NV once in a hotel, never on a ship. DW has dodged it completely. Covid is obviously much more serious then NV but humankind will control it. Life will go on and it won't end up like the walking dead. There will always be risks and frightened people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
