At LEAST 10,000 people are believed to have
died in the Philippines province of Leyte after a
trail of destruction by Typhoon Haiyan, which
has affected many cruise ship crew members’
families and friends.
Carnival Australia spokesperson Peter
Taylor told Cruise Weekly the company was
devastated to see the impact of Typhoon
Haiyan and was rolling out initiatives to
support crew with family living in the
decimated regions.
“Recognising that communications with
families may be difficult, we are working
closely to obtain information on any family
members who may have been impacted by
this storm and are providing details to crew as
they become available,” he told CW.
Princess Cruises is also making a donation to
a recognised charity via the Princess Cruises
Community Foundation, while Carnival
Corporation was also working on a crosscompany
support initiative, Taylor said.
