I hope you have good missed port cover on your travel insurance....

That's covered by the shipping line, missed ports they pay a refund and if you miss many ports they generally offer a free holiday

Is that port taxes or more? I missed a port on the last cruise and the wife and I got $250 each less excess (and a sleep in).

Each port call has a different cost so I guess they get back a percentage of whatever it is if they cant disembark.

8 days before my vacation and flight to Tenerife, TUI informed that all their trips have been canceled until 3th April at least, and the customers will get refund. Things are escalating quickly - a week ago we had something like 10 corona cases in Finland, today 155.

During the last week I was already thinking I need to cancel the trip despite the loss of money, not only for possible infection (especially during the flight), but for the risk of spreading it to everyone, getting quarantined, unable to return the rental car on time, or having difficulties returning home as flights could also be canceled. Anyway, the problem was now solved on my behalf. I'm still losing almost 200 EUR as the train ticket and hotel in Helsinki before/after flight are not refundable.

Toilet paper and hand sanitizer hoarders are also seen at here. I know better, and bought only one package yesterday. I also bought few bottles of Corona Extra beer for revenge!

@tohis

Sorry about your trip but a reasonable result financially in the end. I feel sorry for the Corona Beer Company. They have lost millions, so good on you for supporting them.

I was initially disappointed that we had to defer/cancel our next planned road trip due to heavily pregnant daughter's arrival on our doorstep, but in hindsight it could have been a lot worse. I week or so later and I would have booked the boat and probably most of the accommodation.

We are tending to have lots of small local treats and trips to make up for it.

We're not serious until we ban any remaining Toyota Coronas from the roads.

Seriously though,  heaps of schools here who have overseas excursions ( bands etc) booked are calling them off. No refunds. Parents are out thousands of dollars.

QLD Gov't has actually banned all such trips for state run schools.
Most aren't covered by travel insurance.

Travel agencies are laying off staff. In the case of my mate's wife who runs an agency, she's been reduced to three day weeks at half pay. That or finish up.

  The Euro flare up took 2 weeks to eventuate. Thats the pre-diagnosis incubation time. Mass gatherings are irresponsible , but the main spreaders are children, goes from school to parents.

And isolated from us for at least 2 weeks  may his 'absolutely fine' continue indefinitely.

Given the dysfunctional health system in the USA; we have been waiting for the dork to ban US travellers.   

 As usual, Ardern has the savvy and cohones :
 "New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced new restrictions requiring all travellers to be quarantined for 14 days upon entry into the country in an attempt to stop the spread of coronavirus."

He.must be really bad - rest of the country is told to stay at home.

Thinking really really bad    as we live in hope ( at home) 

My nurse notes that Dutton is taking up a bed in the public RBH hospital.  Ironic given that, for years, he and his cronies have ripped off public health money and awarded it to private health.

Good to see the Tazmanic gov is thinking more widely than the Feds.

Er, Tasmania is an Australian state. Maybe you're thinking of New Zealand. 

[The Gonz]

Not surprised. If other states had the luxury of coastal borders, they'd do the same.

However, at last count, 4 cases of Corona have been found in Tassie.

  forgive my sudden stupidity. Probably caused by my Brisbane Uni that had the sense to shut us out 2 weeks ago..... while Nero was still telling us to attend the footy.
