After a very difficult week that has made my day! Thanks for sharing 😊

This is so frustrating. I can’t understand why they are still requiring two initial vaccines for children as well as adults. From what I’ve heard pretty much all other cruise companies have dropped this requirement. Has anyone heard any more about if Marella are going to do the same? Really wish I hadn’t booked a cruise with them now.

Thanks Coalman do you know if the wording on this page has changed at all?

Don’t suppose anyone has anymore updates on this!?

Good luck! Let us know how you get on! I’m really hoping that if the government policy changes they will have to update too.

So Marella messaged me again as I asked to speak to someone who might be able to tell me more. They said they are monitoring this and will update their policy in line with government information but they don’t have a set date to do this. They said if any updates these will go on their website. I would message them on their Facebook page and with your situation and see what they say. Good luck!

Just to update I’ve messaged Marella cruises to ask if the rules will be reviewed in light of the new changes which were announced on the news yesterday (only two more weeks for under 50s to get the vaccine). They have replied saying they can’t give any more information about when a review might take place and to check the website.

I really hope so!

Oh no that’s not good Coalman! I’m hoping there is an update soon as otherwise will probably need to cancel and the next instalment of my balance is due in two weeks. Does anyone know if TUI might allow me to delay making the next instalment until we know if the vaccine rules are changing? Thanks

Thanks for the update Coalman. Fingers crossed!

Just wondered if anyone had any more updates on this issue? I tried to call Marella about it but they couldn’t tell me when the policy was being reviewed….

Thanks both for the info- really helpful.

Hi all, I have a Marella cruise booked for 12th August 2023 to France, Spain and Italy. My daughter is 12 and at present unvaccinated for covid (myself and husband are fully vaccinated though). I’m wondering if the rules are likely to change in terms of covid vaccination for Marella cruises and wondered if anyone had any ideas please? I noticed the river cruises dropped covid vaccine requirements on 23rd December but they still remain for other cruises. Thanks
