My partner and I are booked on Regal Princess 9/07-16/07 Rome - Athens. We’ve ordered our Pride Sea Witch medallions!  

so this trip unfortunately didn’t happen because we both (finally) got COVID. Great timing! 🤣

This meant that obviously we couldn’t board and didn’t even go to the port. Instead, we received a future cruise credit, and we’re now heading on a 8-day Caribbean voyage departing Fort Lauderdale on 3 January. Same ship too - Regal Princess! 
 

Let’s hope this time we make it! 

Boarding Regal Princess later this month in Rome. Princess’ website advises that a PCR or antigen is acceptable. Am I correct in assuming that the antigen is administered upon embarkation at the port? And that it is accordingly unnecessary to get a PCR beforehand?
 

Also, does anyone know what would happen if you tested positive at the port? I assume they would deny you boarding, but I wonder if there is a mandated shoreside quarantine under Italian law?

Here is a photo of Regal in dry dock as of a few minutes ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJnJktjED-/?igshid=YTM0ZjI4ZDI=

Looking very shiny!

Hi Jamie

I would suggest finding a game reserve somewhere along the Garden Route. The Addo Elephant National Park is a treasure, and the region along the southern coast of South Africa towards Cape Town is beautiful. You could maybe fly to Port Elizabeth and then self-drive from there to Cape Town, making your way slowly through quite dramatic mountain ranges, valleys, and eventually wine vineyards.
