Fifteen Ships Coming to SF Because of Flu?
This morning, the local news reported that 15 ships are due to arrive
in the next three weeks due to whatever-we-call-it-now-flu rerouting. They shot outside the Mariner (?) OTS, which had evidently done a service call in Cabo without letting pax ashore to meet PSA reqs. - I suspect that the number reported includes normally scheduled repositioning calls (5-6?) - I wonder if all ships will still do a service call in MX (Ensenada?) or if the government will waive the PSA.

changes to Victoria and Vancouver BC. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/m...host=community "SteveFLL" wrote in message ...

From the Subject: San Francisco for a few hours
Many ships, fearing to visit Mexican ports, are coming here. Although the information contained at this URL http://touringsfo.info/fromsfo.html#Layover was written for flyers, it can also be helpful for you. |
