do you know if they had some crew from The wonder fly in. Also if the Asian crew will be flying to San Diego to go on the wonder and have have the wonder go to Asia to drop off crew?

Since Disney has never sailed to any Asian ports, it seems unlikely to me that the first cruise crossing the Pacific would be to drop off crew.

Maybe they made a deal with HAL, or Princess who did do a crew swap in Ensenada and headed out for there.

You would think I would know to look by now

I often find that someone has usually beat me to the punch.

Further info I gleaned from chatter on other boards etc... The Magic is going to take crew to Dover, UK, to repatriate crew, apparently through out Europe (where borders are open) and also to Asia and even Australia via international flights. Then the Magic will go into "cold shut down" (completely off) with a skeleton crew for a few months, it will take 2-3 weeks to restart systems and get the ship ready to sail to Cadiz, Spain for her dry dock there 2-3 weeks sometime I THINK in Sept/Oct, and finish up in time to conduct the WBTA (if operations have resumed). The Fantasy is conducting crew to Mexican ports for repatriation to Mexico and Central American countries. The Dream will remain around Southern Florida/Castaway Cay, with remaining crew that is unable to be repatriated or allowed to fly home under CDC/Homeland Security rules under the No Sail Order.

No idea about the Wonder, NO one is allowed ashore from the Wonder (or any ship for that matter) they're on complete lock down, rules state no domestic or international flights of crew from any ships, no hotel stays ashore by any crew members, 14 Quarantine mandatory for any one approved leaving the ship for any reason. Also no public transportation, contact with anyone ashore until quarantine period has lapsed.

like I said on the other thread. A lot of states are preparing for kids to not be at school full time this fall.

school will be back in session full time before people are going on cruises.

Eh, maybe. Bet lots of parents would see "virtual school" as less important and would make travel plans if possible.

That is an insane amount of fuel to burn to get their crew repatriated. They could charter jets for cheaper

They cannot, actually. That has been the issue. The ships in PC and Miami will get people ashore to get them to the airport for charters, get them there, and the charter will cancel. Then the crew has to go back and quarantine 14 days befoee another try can be made.

You would think a charter would be easy but I guess it is not.

This is very sad but even sadder knowing I was supposed to be sailing on the Magic right now!

Beautiful site tonight watching all 3 ships with all their colorful lights on.

Tugs on my heart strings. Don't know whether or not I want to cruise next year or possibly be done with cruising for good. Either way I have been blessed immensely to have set foot on two of Disney's ships.

I was referring to the cost, not the feasibility.

I know, but my point is that they had been trying and failed. The stories I read were bananas. I don't even get how you can be bussing crew to the airport to have a charter canceled from under them, but it was happening.

So it seems they have limited options.

Very cool photo but probably the only time you will see all 3 at dock

Sounds like a horn battle at 8am but hard to really hear on webcam.

 

[Snowwhyt]

Someone must have a copy of the horn battle? I don’t need to cry but I’m absolutely going to! Anyone have a copy they recommend as the best?

At this moment, the Magic is at Castaway Cay. The Fantasy is offshore near PC and the Dream has moved to the DCL dock in the spot occupied by the Fantasy the last two days. Hoping all crew are able to get home safely.
