Princess Cruises Extends Pause of Guest Cruise Vacations to Select Alaska, Canada & New England and Pacific Coastal Sailings in 2021

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As Princess Cruises continues to review and assess its operations as a result of the Canadian Transport Ministry’s Interim Order that extends the closure of Canadian ports and waters to passenger vessels, the company has found it necessary to cancel the following voyages:

<a…

Alaska seven-day Voyage of the Glaciers cruises, sailing between Vancouver, B.C. and Anchorage (Whittier)
Pacific Coastals that start or end in Vancouver, B.C.
Canadian Adventure sailing roundtrip from Southampton, UK

Princess is engaged with various United States and Canadian government officials to try to preserve a portion of the Alaska and Canada & New England 2021 cruise seasons. In the meantime, Princess has committed to operating the Kenai Princess Wilderness lodge along with McKinley Chalet Resort in Denali and Westmark Fairbanks Hotel this summer and is currently working on vacation land package details that will be announced shortly.

«We share in our guests’ disappointment over these cancelled voyages especially as we have been preparing our ships for our return to service,» said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises. «Princess Cruises has sailed to Alaska for more than 50 years and the incredible Last Frontier is part of our proud heritage. We understand, how much of Alaska is dependent on the cruise economy. We are going to do all we can to help our business partners and the communities of Alaska.»

For guests currently booked on a cancelled voyage who had paid in full, Princess will automatically rebook them to the same cruise or cruisetour in 2022. No action is required from guests or their travel advisors. The rebooking process will have the added benefit of protecting the guests’ 2021 fare on their 2022 cruise. Once Princess has completed the booking transfer, if the guest would prefer an alternative option, they can choose a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise fare paid (minimum $25 USD) or a full refund to the original form of payment.

Guests not paid in full will automatically receive a refundable Future Cruise Credit (FCC) equivalent to 100% of the cruise fare paid plus an additional non-refundable bonus FCC equal to 10% of the cruise fare paid (minimum $25 USD).

FCCs can be used on any cruises booked by and sailing by December 31, 2022. Alternatively, guests can request a full refund for all monies paid on their booking through this online form. Requests must be received by March 31, 2021 or guests who are not paid in full will automatically receive the Future Cruise Credit option.

Princess will transfer the commission earned by our travel advisors from the cancelled 2021 cruise to the new booking in 2022. This convenience is in recognition of the critical role they play in the cruise line’s business and success.

Holland America Line Extends Cruise Pause to Include All Departures Sailing to or from a Canadian Port in 2021

Impacted voyages include Alaska, Canada/New England and Pacific Coastal sailings scheduled in 2021; similar cruises in 2022 not impacted

SEATTLE, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As Holland America Line continues to review and assess its plans around the Canadian Transport Ministry’s Interim Order that closed Canadian ports and waters to passenger vessels, the company is extending its pause of cruise operations to now include all sailings that depart from or conclude in a Canadian port in 2021. This will include several Alaska, three Canada/New England and two Pacific Coastal cruises in summer and fall of this year. It also includes all Land+Sea Journeys.

At this time, Alaska cruises departing from mid-May and sailing roundtrip from Seattle, Washington, are not being canceled. Discussions are underway with Canadian and United States government authorities to try to find a path forward to preserve these sailings. As more information is known, an announcement will be made. Guests on impacted Alaska cruises and Land+Sea Journeys involving a Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, gateway may not move to roundtrip Seattle cruises at this time, as these departures are not open for sale pending further announcements.

«Holland America Line, in alliance with our entire industry, is optimistic for the resumption of cruising around North America and worldwide,» said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. «However, we must be practical in our approach by acknowledging the limitations put in place by the current Canadian order that requires us to cancel select sailings. We thank our guests for their patience and understanding and know that they, like us, are eager to see cruising begin again soon.»

Cruises impacted by this pause in operation are:

Alaska: Cruises through September 2021 to Alaska from all departure ports aboard Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam and Zuiderdam. This also includes any Land+Sea Journeys connected with canceled Alaska sailings.
Pacific Coastal: Two sailings in early October aboard Koningsdam and Oosterdam.
Canada/New England: Three cruises aboard Zaandam departing in September 2021.

All 2022 Alaska and Canada/New England cruises will operate as scheduled. The Canadian Interim Order expires Feb. 28, 2022.

Holland America Line is closely following the protocol set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and is preparing ships and implementing procedures to meet all requirements for approval to sail at the appropriate time.

Guests Automatically Rebooked in 2022 on Similar Cruise
Holland America Line is notifying guests and their travel advisors of their options. Guests on Alaska and Canada/New England canceled departures that are paid in full automatically will be rebooked on an equivalent cruise or Land+Sea Journey in 2022 at the fare paid for 2021 – with all cash and FCC funds moved to the new booking. No other action is needed when accepting the rebooked itinerary. Replacement 2022 booking confirmations will be automatically sent within 30 days of this announcement.

All guests receive the following options:

Paid in Full: Those who have paid in full will be automatically rebooked to the same cruise or Land+Sea Journey in 2022 at the fare paid for 2021.
Not Paid in Full: Those with bookings not paid in full may elect to be moved to the same cruise type or Land+Sea Journey in 2022 at the fare paid for 2021.

If guests decide not to accept a cruise booking in 2022 by March 31, 2021, they automatically default to receive an FCC of 110% of any cash paid on the booking. The minimum FCC is $25 and the maximum will be an amount up to the base cruise fare paid. Guests will retain any other FCC used for the canceled 2021 booking with all FCC amounts moved to their loyalty account for use on a future cruise booking. For all bookings in 2022, standard cancellation policies will apply.

Due to the fact that there are no equivalent cruises in 2022, Pacific Coastal cruise guests will receive the option for an FCC or full refund.

Full Refund Option Also Available

Guests who prefer a 100% refund of monies paid to Holland America Line can visit the Cancellation Preferences Form to indicate their preference no later than March 31, 2021.

The FCC is valid for sailings departing through Dec. 31, 2022. Noncruise fare purchases — such as shore excursions, air fares, gifts, dining and spa — will be transferred to a new booking or automatically refunded via the method of payment used to purchase the services to the original form of payment.

The above options are not applicable to guests booked on a charter sailing. Other booking and cancellation conditions and policies may apply if the cruise was not booked through Holland America Line. See the terms and conditions in the Cancellation Preferences Form for all details.

Holland America Line previously paused global cruise operations and canceled all departures on all ships through April 30, 2021, as well as Alaska cruises through mid-May or early June, Mediterranean cruises through early June and Canada/New England itineraries through August.

Según Edwards, «Este objetivo es la forma en…

A la fecha, 179 líderes escolares y funcionarios de recursos humanos de todo el país se han unido a la campaña para reclutar y contratar docentes de grupos minoritarios.

La feria contará con representación de escuelas y distritos tanto de estados del norte como del sur, igualmente de más de 20 escuelas públicas independientes que ya se han registrado.

BODYGUARD – BanaLogic’s affordable Vehicle Damage Detection Systems with LED lighting and license plate recognition

TORONTO, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BanaLogic, automotive inspection specialists, has released a new vehicle intake and damage detection system called BODYGUARD. Specifically designed for dealerships, repair centers, car rental locations, and parking garages, it captures hundreds of images including license plate data in mere seconds as a vehicle enters and/or exits the designated lane.

Our customers were asking for a solution to document and augment their vehicle intake and return…

Our customers were asking for a solution to document and augment their vehicle intake and return process that did more than just capture images. After much research, we discovered that systems were either lacking in capability or so cost prohibitive that it would be less expensive to simply absorb and write off any claims. For BODYGUARD, we leveraged technology used in our FASTLIGN laser alignment drive through lanes to capture license plate data and trigger bright LED illumination, combined with high resolution cameras strategically placed on towers, to capture hundreds of images at various angles on a 3-5 second drive through. The system is easy to install and uses a small internet appliance to push content securely into the cloud. There are no servers or software to locally maintain and back up and our customers can store, search and review up to a year’s worth of vehicle traffic and images in the cloud for little more than $2 a day.

«One damage claim can more than pay for BODYGUARD,» says Keith Lee, Chief Technology Officer, BanaLogic Corporation.

The company has recently launched two packages – BODYGUARD BASE & BODYGUARD BRITE. Both packages come with automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) with the BRITE package adding automatic high intensity LED lighting to increase image clarity. Each lane for the BASE package is $3,995 and the BRITE package price is $5,995.

The BODYGUARD system is designed to be: easy to implement; adaptable to a wide variety of applications and lane configurations; convenient to use, and is field upgradable. Our engineering team is already working on the next BODYGUARD package which will include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically identify pre-existing damage – all in the same footprint. BODYGUARD systems are designed to be modular and easily field upgradable to enhance and protect investment in the technology.

About BanaLogic

Founded in 2004, BanaLogic is a product design and engineering company, specializing in automotive inspection solutions. We have developed a number of innovative products including safety and emissions analyzers (PENN!E, OSKAR, and NC!E), onboard diagnostic devices, artificial intelligence computing systems, and the industry’s first drive-thru alignment check system – FASTLIGN.

ENA, ACEP Applaud Bill to Address Health Care Workplace Violence

WASHINGTON and SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) and American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) praise the introduction of Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act of 2021 which aims to better protect health care workers from the ongoing threat of workplace violence.

«Emergency nurses and physicians go to work every day driven by their commitment to caring for patients – they shouldn’t have to do so with fear of being violently attacked,» said ENA President Ron Kraus, MSN, RN, EMT, CEN, ACNS-BC, TCRN. «This legislation takes a positive step toward protecting the safety of all emergency health care providers.»

The problem has not subsided amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The No Silence on ED Violence campaign, organized by ENA and ACEP, continues to share stories of front-line health care workers who suffer physical and emotional injuries after workplace assaults.

«Violent incidents that put health workers at risk are on the rise,» said Mark Rosenberg, DO, MBA, FACEP, president of ACEP. «This bipartisan bill is a strong demonstration of congressional commitment to the safety of emergency physicians and others risking their lives on the frontlines. This bill is going to help strengthen workplace safety standards, enhance incident prevention, and allows our health care heroes to focus more on their mission to care for patients during the pandemic and beyond.»

ACEP and ENA thank Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) and the bipartisan coalition of original bill sponsors, including Rep. Robert C. «Bobby» Scott (D-VA), Chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC), Chairwoman of the House Education and Labor Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, Rep. Don Young (R-AK), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) for continuing to make workplace violence against health care workers a legislative priority.

ENA and ACEP have supported workplace violence-related bills introduced in previous sessions of Congress. Members from each association traveled to Capitol Hill in recent years to directly tell legislators their stories of attacks, injuries, and the aftermath caused by violence in the emergency department.

The associations launched No Silence on ED Violence in 2019 to build awareness around the issue of workplace violence, while also providing resources and a peer network to support emergency nurses and physicians.

About the Emergency Nurses Association
The Emergency Nurses Association is the premier professional nursing association dedicated to defining the future of emergency nursing through advocacy, education, research, innovation, and leadership. Founded in 1970, ENA has proven to be an indispensable resource to the global emergency nursing community. With more than 50,000 members worldwide, ENA advocates for patient safety, develops industry-leading practice standards and guidelines, and guides emergency healthcare public policy. ENA members have expertise in triage, patient care, disaster preparedness, and all aspects of emergency care. Additional information is available at www.ena.org.

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is the national medical society representing emergency medicine. Through continuing education, research, public education and advocacy, ACEP advances emergency care on behalf of its 40,000 emergency physician members, and the more than 150 million Americans they treat on an annual basis. For more information, visit www.acep.org and www.emergencyphysicians.org.
