It seems unlikely, but who knows. This is a continuation of the "meetings" that started last Saturday.

Not to Europe (EU) but from. Also, last night the W.H. announced Britain and Ireland may also be included. These travel restrictions are similar to those already in place for China and Iran. New Zealand has imposed mandatory quarantines for everybody entering the country including locals. I'm in Florida right now and scheduled to go back home to Alaska in a few weeks, from the sounds I hear from the W.H. regarding flight restrictions for California and Washington State as well as Alaska Airlines proposed flight cuts I might be stuck down here.

Day 6 on RCL Liberty of the Seas. Seeing no issues with bugs this cruise. Crews been doing stellar job cleaning. RCL announced 30 suspension of cruising, so we’re the last on this ship till restarting. Crew disappointed with uncertainty in the next month.

Good question. Some might go to dry dock if there is room .. some might have to anchor .. not really sure of the logistics.

I saw this morning that Grandeur has been turned away from 2 ports in the Caribbean on its current cruise and that its home port of Baltimore is closing.
I also checked on the Norwegian Gem this morning which was supposed to port in St Thomas but the ship cam showed it at sea. Checked around and sure enough it was north of St Thomas on its way back to NY. Not sure yet if this was the ships decision or the ports decision. I suspect we are going to be seeing more closed ports today and tomorrow and a few other lines may be doing as Princess did.
