    AS to the virus, these ships will be the cleanest in the world from what I have been told about the current cleaning process.

    “The industry needs to convince customers that they are safe, will not risk infection with the ongoing health threat, or be quarantined on a ship,” says Jamie Rollo, an analyst at Morgan Stanley. “When sailing does resume, it might take only a small outbreak on one ship to cause global operations to be suspended again, so the industry needs to get this right first time.”

    I have a vivid imagination so can envisage what it would have been like when I went to sea; if we had to check out every ship we signed on too.
    A Geiger counter check on the accommodation, a Medic checking that all the food was safe, all cabins swabbed with antiseptic. Hand wipe alongside the wheel, two lookouts both wearing safety harness. The cooks in pure white, and wearing medical gloves, and all food delivered in glass covered individual dishes.

    The present sequence of circumstances the world has gone through points out how easily it is for any terrorist organisation to neutralise any country at will. This threat has always been there , and the only way to prevent is to have stricter policing of all laboratory’s world wide that have the means to produce any virus at Will. This will be nigh on impossible in some states , so if any doubts that one is not complying to maintain stability in the human species then they should be made ex communicado. JS

    Victoria, somehow we will get on another one.
    The companies ae advertising like mad for next year, some very good deals.

    We still have the end of year one booked, may go ahead according to sources, and two booked for next year, one local and one for Europe.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Don't know if you are getting the reports from the Royal Commission, but the N.S.W. govt is getting deeper into the dodo, It now seems that they were not interested in the Ruby Princess having the virus, they wanted them all off and out catching their planes, they were not even cleared by customs and immigration, let alone the health Dept. There were people catching planes to places all over the world who were Covid19 positive. One man in Queensland was rung up four times in a fortnight , to be asked how his wife was, she had died two weeks before, and he had notified them, he was livid. As a result of the govt incontinence around 61 people died. But now the PM is saying how good N.S.W was with looking after the people.

    Des, that was one of the worst examples of any gov attempting to get rid of a problem in the hope no one would notice.

    Here in Victoria we have still got about 50 or so returned travelers in a hotel doing their 2 week quarantine.
    They came in via Tullamarine airport as it is the only 24 hour one in Oz.
    However about 90% of them are from other states but we have to hold them and they go onto the number of cases of the virus in Victoria.


    Victoria, maybe your premier is 'channeling' from some previous occupants of Tassie, Port Arthur comes to mind. LOL
