F1guynz Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Royal Caribbean has decided to use its own ships in Australia to repatriate Indonesian, Filipino, Chinese and Indian crew members to their countries. Three Royal Caribbean cruise ships based in Australia will embark to Asia very soon in order to return most of the crew back home. The company plans to embark 2584 crew from 5 Royal Caribbean ships which are currently at anchor in Australia, and use Spectrum of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas to set sail to Indonesia, Philippines and China. Royal Caribbean’s ships will be refueled and restocked with the healthy crew before departing to a long journey to Asia. P&O Australia and Princess cruises are also undertaking similar voyages.

Scrumps Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 If it is this difficult to get them home, imagine getting them back. I doubt Aus, USA etc are going to be allowing flights in anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still flights between USA and rest of the world right now, they have never stopped! Yes the amount of flights has reduced and a lot of flights are cargo but you only have to look at flight radar to see that there are still passenger aircraft flying between continents, right now Air Ethiopia has a flight heading to North America, Swiss Air also , British airways is flying back from Maima, Egypt Air flight from Cairo to Washington. Even when DT first banned flights from UK to USA people on FB Page ( NYC the place to be ) were STILL flying there for their vacation and posting pics from NYC in lockdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWofPerth Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Aside from getting home because you are stuck overseas, I'm not sure why anyone would be getting on a passenger plane at this point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
