PRINCESS CRUISES FLEET UPDATE | Where are they now?

[@booklover555]

I applaud you for making that powerful and impactful statement and to do it with a very heartfelt seriousness. The fingerprint lesson was an easy object lesson for the uninformed or out of touch. Your teacher did an excellent job at bringing something to light to you as a student and it has stayed with you and helped you see the world through a clearer lens. I’m sure your education and enlightenment allow you to better understand, communicate and engage with your very diverse coworkers. I hope I get to meet you to shake your hand one day. Your parents and employer should be so very proud of you!! I’m here in the midst of the healing in the USA. (I sailed on the Coral Princess in February from Buenos Aires to Antarctica, ending in Chile and enjoyed every minute of the cruise)

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Lori, means a lot!

[@gerrykoebert3256]

As a loyal Princess Cruise passenger, I so enjoy watching the videos and keeping up to date on what’s happened in the a Princess Fleet. My husband and I enjoy so much watching the videos and seeing the crew. Thank you for putting these together. We will continue to watch as long as you make them. We look forward to when we can sail with Princess again!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

10,000 is awesome, Alfie! You're the only Officer that has a KZbin channel that I've found. You are our modern day "Love Boat" hero!

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thanks Mitchell

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Same Ship Different Day You are very welcome, Alfie!

[@AugustoLugo1983]

Thanks Alfie for that opening segment, very grateful, some of us are losing our humanity, I am glad you are doing well, you are almost home (hopefully) and glad to see that thousands of crew members are in their homelands, quite a challenge for the cruise industries and they will continue to have my full support, please record as much as you can of your repatriation, can't wait to watch it. Stay safe and try to relax as much as you can, you seem to be a little tired this time. cheers mate!! Thanks for all the information.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Augusto

[@Love2Cruise]

Really glad to see crews are able to go back home. Thank you all for your hard work so we (the annoying, demanding, and more often than not DRUNK passengers) could have a great time onboard your homes away from home.

[@dawnjohnson7688]

Subscribed precisely because of the thoughtful shoutout at the start. I want to see crew respecting all passengers and ensuring passengers respect other passengers. Racism ruins my vacation as well!

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Dawn

[@alohajonny8973]

Sir, you are brilliant! With so many people trying to act like they care and say some of the dumbest things you have really given a great perspective in just a few heartfelt words...WELL DONE1

[@ArlynnsCountryCraftCorner]

Hi Alfie...First, thank you for the fingerprint photo, excellent tool to help everyone reflect on what is happening here in the US and around the world. Thank you too for letting those of us who have been worried sick about the crew members on board the beautiful Princess ships. I'm so glad to hear that the repatriation process is going so well. (I was particularly interested in hearing about the Ruby and the Emerald as those were the last two ships my hubby and I were privileged enough to sail on--Ruby in February in New Zealand and then on the Emerald disembarking in Ft. Lauderdale on March 15th). We are scheduled to be on the Sky in November (fingers crossed), and then we'll be on your beautiful Coral next spring Vancouver RT Alaska and then we'll stay on her for b2b Voyage of the Glaciers cruises (throwing all canceled cruise funds into that big trip). Stay safe and I hope that you are able to get back home very, very soon. :) Thanks so much again for taking the time out to do these videos...and congrats on your subbie count (I too am a Creator here on KZbin--2 channels, with the name I'm commenting under now being my larger of the two. I have an "Arlynn's Travels" channel too). Take good care!

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Arlynn

[@jackieallison3935]

Thanks for the updates. Great to know crew are getting back to their loved ones. Hopefully you will be able to do the same in the not too distant future. Take care and stay safe and well. Jackie from UK.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Jackie

[@mspalmboy]

Brilliant black or white fingerprint discussion Alfie. As humans, we should all be concerned about human rights. Excellent update on where the ships are. So good for the crew to be returning home. We're keen to use our future cruise credits on future Australian domestic cruises, but I'm concerned that international travel restrictions mean it might take months for ships to be fully crewed again (especially considering that globally covid19 cases are still increasing, plus it's taking months just to return crew to their home countries). Thanks again and enjoy your holiday Alfie.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Phil. Timeline is the biggest uncertainty in cruising at the moment!

[@teresah5318]

Impressive video. Thanks for sharing! I hope that you will be the much needed break and head on home soon!

Very happy to hear crews are getting home! Thanks for the update!

[@ednammansfield8553]

Hi Alfie I am new to your channel which I have enjoyed watching especially as I have been on several cruises and I am myself a former sailor being a Radio Officer on Deepsea Trawlers back in the mid 1960's to 1970 sailing in Icelandic waters and Greenland. The fingerprint discussion is very relevant at this moment in time with what is going on throughout the world at the moment. Best wishes for a good leave once you disembark your ship and I hope that someday I will get the chance to join you on a Princess cruise in the future as I haven't sailed on a Princess cruise yet having only been with P&O, Celebrity and Fred Olsen on previous cruises. Thank you for this video and I have subscribed.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Hi Ednam, thank you for your comment and the subscription. I look forward to seeing you onboard

[@trekkermueth3074]

This repatriation during a pandemic is an amazing logistics and humanitarian feat. I am impressed with the careful planning, coordination and consideration of the crew as these operations take place. Good news that you will be able to go home soon. Thank you for sharing this historic moment in cruise history and also thank you for also recognizing the other historic events that are happening in the United States. Wishing you safe travels as you hopefully make your way home soon. Stay safe!

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Trekker

[@spookydude7449]

Thank you for taking the time out for us to let us know what is happening.

[@bjones546]

Awesome update! Really enjoy following the “news” of how the Princess fleet and crew members are doing. Keep up the excellent work. And I do want to commend you on mentioning the current world events without pushing your views on your viewers or being “in our face” about it. A lot of other social media outlets I used to follow went overboard and too “in your face” while expressing their political views. Thank you for not going overboard!

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you B, your feedback is appreciated

[@davidkalbacker6033]

As a former merchant sailor - I enjoy your reports. It is also very eye opening to realize how global the crews are . Thank you .

[@coryoplayer]

Happy Saturday Alfie. Wonderful news to see that lots of crew members are getting home. (thumbs up) I can't help but think that the members that came off the Coral are extremely happy to get onto terra firm after being on the water for so long. And it was great to see all the crew members helping move the luggage from the bonus clip your friend provided. Team work makes the job that much easier!!! As for your fatigue. Please remember to chat with those still on the Coral with you. Don't hide the feelings.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you

Hello. My husband, and two other couples were on the Coral Princess and were the lucky ones to be able to depart in Argentina. We were sad to have our cruise so disrupted, but was happy that at that time there was no one sick. Strange that within 7 +- days after the Argentine Doctors boarded that the covid came aboard.

[@jimneufeld1073]

Sending encouragement to all the crew that work so hard to make our vacations memorable.

[@grahamefoster5392]

Thankyou for the fleet update. It is always very interesting to hear your update. Thankyou

[@stephenhope7319]

Cool, I have been following all this on Marine Traffic and Cruise Ship Tracker, interesting. Please send maintenance a request to go clean the lens on the bridge cam . From Princess Cruises go to bridge cams and see how yours needs a clean :) Have fun and enjoy your time on you vacation. We were supposed to be on Sky Princess next Thursday for a Baltic Sea cruise but will have to wait until next year. Thanks for all the informative vids, Alfie. Looking forward to more after your vacay and when you get back aboard.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Thank you Stephen. I'll see what I can do about the camera

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

There are some really smart and dedicated people working at these cruise line companies, because they have taken on this incredibly complicated repatriation project to get these incredibly hard working people home to their families!

[@PL-mu1cp]

Thanks for the update on the ships and crew. That is why I subscribed to your channel. I come to KZbin to escape the local TV news. it is overload between local tv news and CNN. I go for a walk and businesses are boarded up a couple blocks from my home. Please keep your content non-political. You are an escape from the 24/7 coverage of whats going on in the world.

[@mspalmboy]

Alive didn't discuss politics - he discussed human rights. Well done Alfie.

Thank you for your info and the fingerprint analogies. Very powerful. Can you please tell us if any ships will be heading for the west coast. Thank you.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Hi Debra, thank you. For the time being the United States is totally off limits. You have have to keep an eye on CDC restrictions, these will determine when ships can return

[@debbiekrusch9405]

Same Ship Different Day thank you for your response. I knew San Francisco and Hawaii ports were closed. I live 70 miles from San Francisco. We have a cruise booked from San Francisco on Nov 23 to Hawaii. That is one of the last 4 cruises not yet cancelled on the Ruby Princess. I can only pray things are better by then. Stay safe and well, enjoy your time off. Soon we will all be back to happy cruising.

Great informative videos. Where and when is Golden Princess going for her refit prior to joining P&O Australia as Pacific Adventure later in the year?

[@adeejinnz]

I believe it will happen in Singapore in September 2020. Singapore is the most common dry dock port for significant changes to cruise-ships in Asia/Pacific.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Hi Graham, as Adrian said it is scheduled for Singapore dry dock

[@charlottesmith9919]

Hi Alfie, Thank you for another great update! Thank you for using your platform for spreading much needed awareness, BLM! Take care.

[@Lynny1651]

Can’t wait to go on our booked cruise on the Sapphire Princess ❤️

[@jfmezei]

Love the picture of the fingerprint. For your Amsterdam to UK journey if there are problems doing it, consider this video from a travel vlogger: THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO AMSTERDAM? Stena Line Rail and Sail (Noel Phillips) Also consider the need for 14 days isolation once you get to UK. Do you have a fixed length vacation before Princess gets you back on a ship or is it open ended depending on when cruise operations can begin again?

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Hi JF thanks for the comment and another great question. Vacations vary but are usually 3 months. I'm hoping this one will be longer to reflect days worked! No future rotations at the minute anyway, but hoping to be exempt from the 14 day quarantine as a seafarer

[@jfmezei]

@@SameShipDifferentDay The exemptions for the 14 day travel are out: www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules/coronavirus-covid-19-travellers-exempt-from-uk-border-rules Scroll down to seamen. Not sure if this works when you arrive as a tourist (aka: not working on the ship that is docking at a UK port). The general rules if you don't meet the exemption: www.gov.uk/uk-border-control

[@johntait491]

Thanks Alfie..!! Maybe see you on a Princess cruise one day..!! ;-)

[@kated2847]

I have a question.....I fairly often watch sailaway on PTZtv port cameras. One of my favourite parts is when the ships blow their horns. Regal and Royal of course have the love boat horn. And Regal pretty much always blows it leaving Fort Lauderdale. I assume Sky Princess has that horn, being newer, and yet it never blows the horn. Who decides this and why the inconsistencies? Thanks for the updates, it is really interesting to see the fleet in the harbour and really quite stunning.

[@SameShipDifferentDay]

Hi Kate, for the Love Boat whistle the decision is usually made by the Captain

[@AlisonPickering1960]

HI ALFIE FROM ALISON & JOSEPH IN LOS ANGELES. Thanks for the updates - you are so poised and have great screen presence! Question: you mentioned how hard it is to do the watchkeeping schedule for months. Is it the way the shifts are structured? Are there changes that would make for a more humane work schedule (circadian rhythms etc). Just wondering. Thanks and much success to you.

Barring current illness, why are your crewmen repatriating? Is princess not planning on reopening to customers any time soon? I only ask, because there are cruises scheduled for the end of june with other companies in the industry.

Hi Megan, so the vast majority have had their contracts ended. Which means they need to be repatriated by Princess. This is now in progress. When new crews are needed, contracts will be issued and a full complement of crew will join

I was thrilled to be allowed on the bridge at all times and enjoyed talking with the bridge officers. I love technology and you have some wonderful stuff.

Also, when you finally get home to the UK for a very well earned rest, will you be continuing with your vlogs, regarding the Princess Fleet? Hopefully yes. In the meantime, Best regards
