We are on Explorer of the Seas which is based out of Rome in May for 9 nights and has 3 stops in Italy - one in Malta (which is banning ships) then onto the Greek Isles - So yeah cant really see it going ahead - you would think they would cancel and send the ship somewhere else or park it up.

Joe01 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Things could easily change by May but I read on CC that there was a possibility of EX heading to Southampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princevaliantus Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 An incubation period of COVID-19 usually appear around five days on average, but the incubation period may be as short as two days to as long as 14 days. With this in mind, Italy's direction is to lock down until April 3, 2020, which is well over 3 weeks and as such, they're attempting to rid itself of the virus within that period of time by limiting access to the country and it's people. Given the above, if it works, then cruising to Europe would be feasible by the summer. I, for one, have hopes that it will work as I have a Med Cruise in September. The only issue I see if a tourist brings the virus back into the country, unknowingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 We are also scheduled to cruise in May on Explorer, 9 nights Italy, Malta Greece - We have been planning this trip for almost a year. It is very stressful but we still are not cancelling or changing yet, there is still hope as we are not cruising till May 27 so I'm hoping this dire situation as of today will be much better by then, we have the rest of March, all of April and most of May!!!
