Creator's Key Takeaways

we've had lots of recent Cyclones um here in Queensland and tropical lows which have forced quite a number of ships in the last couple of months to Red divert to different different places

the announcement from Virgin voyages on the repositioning Cruise uh duud to leave shortly from Australia I think next month in March uh heading back to the Mediterranean uh the itinery has completely changed

I've been cruising for 15 20 years I can't even remember now how long it's been and I've been on when there's been no viruses outbreaks and then they basically confine you to your cabin back then for a couple of days

the Pacific sky in 2004 here in Brisbane was actually delayed in Brisbane had to spend an extra day here because of jellyfish no jellyfish what jellyfish do jellyfish actually got into the intakes uh for the engine
