ʻO Connor Joyce he ohua ma ka moku holoholo Norewai Jade. ʻAʻole ia he holoholo i kēlā me kēia lā, akā he moemoeā weliweli. ʻO Connor ka mea hoʻokumu a me CEO ma Behavioural Insights Professional Society ma Seattle, Wakinekona.
I kēia lā ua hāʻawi ʻo ia i kahi hōʻike i kau ʻia i kāna Facebook e ʻōlelo ana:
Ua huhū wau, a ʻo wau pū me kahi mau mākaʻikaʻi ʻē aʻe he 1,000 i kau inoa i kahi palapala noi e koi ana i kahi uku piha no kā mākou ʻike ma ka Norwegian Jade. ʻO kēia kā mākou moʻolelo:
ʻO kēia ka lā Sābati, Pepeluali 16th kakahiaka, ma kahi o 50 mile o ke kahakai o Thailand a ma kahi o ka leʻaleʻa i nā hola i koe o ka holo kai 11 lā, ua hōʻuluʻulu ʻia kahi hōʻuluʻulu o 400 mau mea e noi i ka uku no kahi hoʻomaha hoʻomaha ʻole. ʻAʻole i hoʻokumu ʻia i hoʻokahi a i ʻole ʻelua mau hakakā akā he mau hoʻoholo maikaʻi ʻole, kūleʻa ʻole o ke kamaʻilio ʻana, a me nā mea hiki ʻole ke wehewehe ʻia e kekahi mea akā ʻo ka laweʻa ʻoihana.
Ua hoʻomaka kēia a pau me ka nūhou a ʻAʻole hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka ʻohana Hawaiʻi ma kahi o $ 30,000 ma hope o ke noi ʻana e hōʻoki i kā lākou huakaʻi holo moana ma waena o COVID-19 i hoʻopilikia ʻia ma Asia Hema. Ua hui ʻia nā poʻe kipa e like me nā noi me nā pane like a no ka nui o ka poʻe i hele i ka moku me ka makemake ʻole.
Ua hoʻomaka ka miscommunication ma mua o ko mākou haʻalele. Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻia kekahi e pili ana i kahi loli hoʻololi ma mua o kā mākou hiki ʻana i ka pahu, akā ʻaʻole i ʻike ka hapa nui a hiki i ka nānā ʻana. ʻAʻole hoʻopau hou kā mākou huakaʻi ma Hong Kong a ma kahi, e hoʻi hou ana mākou i Singapore, me kēia huakaʻi huakaʻi lōʻihi ʻaʻole mākou e pae ma Halong Bay. Ma ke ʻano he ʻelua o nā wahi nui i alakaʻi ʻia ai nā huakaʻi huakaʻi e koho i kēia holo moana, he hahau nui ia. Ua hāʻawi ʻo NCL iā 10% kālā hoʻi a me 25% ma kahi holo kai e hiki mai ana ma ke ʻano he uku. ʻAʻole ʻo 25% i ʻoi aku ma mua o 25% a mākou i uku ai no kēia holo moana.
Ua hana ʻia kekahi ʻano komo hou, ʻaʻole hiki i nā mākaʻi ke kipa aku i ka ʻāina nui Kina i nā lā he 30 i hala. E hoʻohuli ʻia kēia poʻe ohua a hāʻawi ʻia i uku pānaʻi piha, kahi mea hōʻoluʻolu o mākou i makemake ʻole e hui pū ʻaʻole hāʻawi ʻia. Ke hele nei i waena o ka palekana a me ka hele ʻana i ke kaʻina hana kau, ua hoihoi wau i ka nānā ʻole ʻia o kaʻu passport. Ua noʻonoʻo wau iaʻu iho, "Pehea e ʻike ai ʻo NCL ua kipa aku kekahi iā Kina me ka nānā ʻole ʻia o nā wepa visa?" akā ʻo koʻu manaʻoʻiʻo i kekahi me ka ʻoi aku o ka mana ma mua oʻu ka mea āpau i ka kaohi a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo wau i ka wā hoʻomaha ua hoʻomaka koke e haʻalele i kēlā mau manaʻo.
Ma hope o ka lele ʻana, mālie ke kūlana. ʻO ka lā mua ma ke kai ua hāʻawi i ka wai maluhia a me ka lā mālamalama. I ka hōʻea ʻana i kā mākou awa mua, ʻo Laem Chabang, maikaʻi nā mea āpau koe wale no ka hoʻoholo kūleʻa a NCL e lawe i kā mākou passport. Ua hele hou kēia i loko o kuʻu poʻo i nā mea makaʻu he nui, akā ua lawe ʻia ka mea nui o ka wā hoʻomaha a ua hele wau i Bangkok. I ka pau ʻana o ke kolu o ka lā, i ko mākou kau hou ʻana i ka holoholo hou, ua lohe mākou i ka ʻuʻulu o ka poʻe e noi ana e haʻalele i ka holoholo no ka mea ua hele aku nei lākou i Kina. Ua hiki koke mai ka ʻike e kū nei kēlā mau kaha visa.
ʻO Sihanoukville, Kambupila ko mākou kū hou aʻe a ʻoiai ke kūlanakauhale i loaʻa me nā loiloi i huikau ʻia, hopohopo nā mea āpau i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hāpai ana nā pahi i nā limahana a me nā ohua i lawe hou ʻia no kā lākou kipa mua ʻana iā Kina. (Ma hope, ua ʻike mākou aia ma kahi o 200 ka huina.) ʻAe ʻia kēia poʻe e kau a ua launa pū me nā hoa kipa no 4 mau lā i kēia manawa…
Ua iho nā mea āpau mai laila mai. Ua hoʻomaka nā keʻena e hoʻopiha me nā kūkākūkā e pili ana i nā mea e hana nei a me ka ʻino o ke kūlana ma ke Kamāliʻiwahine Diamond. ʻO kahi lā ma ke kai ua ʻae ʻia nā kumumanaʻo e hoʻolaha a piʻi aʻe nā hopohopo. Eia naʻe ka hapanui o mākou e ʻakaʻaka ana a kali i kā mākou hoʻomaha ma Vietnam. Ua hiamoe au i ka pō ʻelima e kiʻi nei i kiʻi paʻi nani o ka napoo ʻana o ka lā.
E ala ana i ka lā o kā mākou awa Vietnam mua, ʻo Chan May, ua hoʻokipa ʻia wau e kahi puka ʻana o ka lā nani ... ʻAʻohe mea kūpono. Ua ʻeleu wau i ke kīwī e hōʻike ana i nā kikoʻī hoʻokele o ka moku e ʻike i ka huli ʻana o ka moku; ʻaʻole mākou i hoʻi i Singapore. ʻO kēia ka manawa mua o ka NCL e kū ai a kamaʻilio kūpono i nā mea e hana nei. Ma kahi o 7 (kā mākou manawa hana) i hala koke ai, ma hope o ka hala ʻana o nā manawa hālāwai huakaʻi, ʻaʻohe ʻāina i ʻike ʻia. Lawe ʻia a hiki i ka manawa o 10 am no ke kāpena e hele mai ma ka intercom a heluhelu i kahi leka i ʻae ʻia e ka ʻāpana kū kānāwai. waha mai ka palapala i loaʻa iā mākou ma hope e wehewehe ana ua pani ʻo Vietnam i kā lākou awa i nā moku holo moana. ʻAʻole mākou e kū hou ana i nā awa i hoʻolālā ʻia ʻehā. ʻO kā mākou uku no kēlā loli, 4% mai kahi holo kai e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ke koena o ka "lā hoʻomaha" mai kahi lōʻihi aku ia. Me ka lawe ʻole ʻana i nā lako awa i hoʻomaka e pau. Ua mamao loa ke kūlana mai nā pilikia loa akā kahi mamao loa hoʻi mai kā NCL misiona e hana i kahi ʻike nui hoʻomaha. Nalo koke ka leʻaleʻa ke hemo nā menus o ka hale ʻaina i nā koho, lilo ka palena balota a hana hou ʻia nā pāʻani a me nā hana. Ua kū pōkole mākou i ka mokupuni ʻo Ko Samui Thailand, ʻoiai ke hāʻawi nei i kahi puʻuhonua maikaʻi ma hope o kā mākou mau lā 4 ma ke kai, hāʻawi iki i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i kā mākou ala mua.
I ka huina o ko mākou keu 5 lā ma ke kai, ka hapa nui o lākou i hopohopo hopohopo ʻaʻole ʻo Singapore e ʻae iā mākou e pae i ko lākou awa ma hope o ke ʻano o nā loli a me ka lawe ʻana i nā mea kaʻa i kahi mamao loa mai kahi wā hoʻomaha. Ua huli koke nā kamaʻilio i ka hui pū ʻana o nā hui a lilo i mea kānalua i kēlā me kēia ʻūhā a me ka pihe. Hoʻomaka ka mākaʻikaʻi moku kiaʻi a me nā kiaʻi kiaʻi e mākaʻikaʻi pinepine a me ka ʻōhumu ʻana o ka mea e pono ai.
Mahalo ua kū aʻe kahi luna kālepa hoʻomaha loa a kūkulu i kahi hui. Ua hui kēia hui e kūkākūkā pehea e hiki ai i kahi kūʻē maluhia a me nā koho a ka hui e noi ai e hoʻonui i ka uku.
Ua kākau ʻia kahi leka e koi ana i kahi hoʻihoʻi piha a kau inoa ʻia ma kahi o 1000 mau ohua (hapa o ka poʻe hoʻomaha hoʻomaha i koe). ʻO kēia pūlima ka mea i alakaʻi i ka hālāwai kakahiaka Sabati kahi i hoʻomaka ai kēia ʻatikala. Ua hāʻawi ʻia kēia leka kūʻē i ke kāpena nāna i hoʻouna aku i ke alakaʻi o NCL. E like me ke kākau ʻana i kēia ʻatikala ʻaʻole mākou i lohe i kekahi mea mai NCL.
Ua hōʻaiʻē ʻo Norew Cruise Lines i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a me nā luina o ka Norwegian Jade i ke kala kala ʻana a me ka hoʻihoʻi piha. ʻAʻole ma muli o nā loli i koi ʻia ma muli o ka Coronavirus akā no ka nui ʻole o ka kamaʻilio ʻana e hōʻoia ana i kahi nohona conducive ʻoi aku ka mutiny ma mua o ka leʻaleʻa.
