Quote2020 On the Blue Cruise - Coronavirus Update
Good Afternoon OTBC Cruisers,
We have heard from several of our cruisers this morning regarding coronavirus concerns, escalated by recent news reports, so we are reaching out to our guests with an update.
As of this moment, we are working on the implementation plan for our sailing and are focused on providing the best cruise possible for all of you. Our artists are preparing their performances and the production and hospitality teams are working on the details of our cruise programming…all systems are “GO” at this time.
We are all being barraged with media reports 24/7 and we know it wears on all of us since there seems to be no escape from the negative messages. As many of you may know, Cruise Line Executives met with government officials in Ft. Lauderdale over the weekend. We understand it was a productive meeting and that details of new safety protocols along with passenger and crew screening plans are currently being finalized. It is our belief that there will be clarity on these outcomes in the next few days, so we ask for your patience as we wait for all of the facts. You will be notified on everything as soon as we know something definitively. This is all we have at this moment, so please standby.
In the meantime we suggest that you go about your life like you always do, using common sense and avoiding people who are coughing and sneezing. The most important things you can do are to wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds, refrain from touching your eyes, nose, mouth and/or face, and cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze (then dispose of the used tissue immediately). These are all good habits, not just for the coronavirus, but for literally 100s of viruses that are known to attack humans. Of greatest concern is the flu, which has produced 34,000,000 flu illnesses and over 20,000 deaths so far this current flu season (current CDC numbers). Viruses are here to stay, and we must all be vigilant each year as we deal with the ever-evolving strains of viruses.
As we have said before, your safety is our #1 concern. We will continue to push the cruise line for optimum safety measures and policies to protect our passengers and do our best to address any concerns you may have. Stay positive, and don’t let this be the focus of your day. It’s easy to be distracted with the current buzz so concentrate on your life, family and friends. In the meantime, we will advise you as we obtain additional information.
Thank you,
Your On the Blue Cruise Team

Important — Coronavirus Update
We know that the past few days have been stressful for not only our guests, but for everyone in all countries around the world. We want to thank you for being patient with our team as we gathered all the facts from both government and cruise line sources.
Our team has been working diligently in handling this situation and we are pleased to announce that we have come to an unprecedented agreement with NCL to postpone On the Blue Cruise and move to another date, which will be determined in the weeks to come. This will give us the ability to preserve this wonderful cruise we have in store for you until the Coronavirus Pandemic has stabilized around the world. We want to thank our partner NCL for negotiating in good faith with us to make this the great event that we all look forward to each year.
As we have said from the beginning, the health and well being of our Guests, Artists and Crew are paramount, and with events on the ground changing by the hour around the world, we were left with no choice but to postpone. It is our hope that with the world working together to control the escalation of this virus, we will be able to reschedule for the Fall of 2020 or Spring of 2021, but nothing is etched in stone until we get a better read on the government’s efforts to control the virus.
Once the sailing date has been established, we will automatically transfer your reservation and funds to the rescheduled sailing (to the same or comparable cabin number and/or type). You will not pay any additional cruise fare and/or fees for the rescheduled cruise (including cruise fare, taxes, fees, and pre-paid basic gratuities only), as any and all budgetary escalations will be shared by On the Blue Cruise and NCL. In addition, we will waive any and all cabin transfer and name change fees until 30 days before we depart on the rescheduled sailing.
We are disappointed that this catastrophic world situation has impacted us and all of our On the Blue Cruise Family, but we are excited that we were able to creatively work with our Artists and NCL to provide you with what we believe is the best possible outcome. We truly appreciate all of your support throughout the years and we hope you and your family will be safe and healthy as we navigate through the weeks to come. In the meantime, we will continue to monitor the situation, keeping you informed as details materialize.
Again, thank you for your kindness, patience, and understanding. -
As expected, "On the Blue Cruise 2020" will have to be postponed.

It's now officially confirmed by management that Glenn will not be appearing on any rescheduled date that takes place this year... so effectively, his appearance on the cruise for 2020 is cancelled.

Will the Dead Daisies dates still happen?

The only right decision. Everybody should stay safe, including Glenn. -

Something tells me the release will be pushed back and summer tour cancelled. Unfortunately.
