Yes they left the back Doors open.
Terrible deaths



New Alarms now fitted if they are not closed

Who is training these workers, if you clear all exiting staff out, in normal circumstances new staff would be trained by experienced staff..that ship has sailed...pardon the pun

Fricken hell... I'm usually against over-regulation by governments, but sometimes the fatcats need reigning in...

Crazy that P&O had initially intended on replacing the staff with Russian/Ukrainian workers ... but have now swapped to Indonesian and Indian ones ..

That said .. it’s millions per year .. not per trip so maybe my first figure is more relevant

And where do they live, on the boat?

they wont be staying on the ship, thats ridiculous, their are cabins for paying customers, not staff, they are working. Thats what they are there for. The previous staff didn't live on the ship.

My guess is there will be some dodgy accommodation rented by p&o
