Mobility reportedly exists on all cruise ships trapped in the Arab Gulf with the blockade of the straits as they want to exploit the «window» which opened today for free passage of commercial ships Ormuz.
As CNN Greece had written this morning, on the two ships of Celestyal, which had been stranded for nearly 50 days, remained the most necessary staff, about 80 people, ready at any time for possible departure. The rest of the staff as well as passengers involved in the cruises in the Arab Gulf returned to Athens and to the other destinations by air through Dubai and Doha.
For Celestyal, which would face major problems, if not for May cruises, a race begins. Within less than two weeks she will have to regroup the staff and prepare and refuel her two ships which if they start today from the Straits of Hormuz will arrive a few days before scheduled cruises.
