Waiting to hear what you find out. As of Tuesday it looks like tests prior tp boarding still required. Hoping for a change soon. Voyages Departing, Arriving or Visiting Greece Updated: August 16, 2022 Vaccination Status Definition by Country's Health Authority Pre-Travel Test Type & When to Take Test Before Boarding Age: 5 to 17 Age: 18 and Up Fully Vaccinated 18 and above At least 14 days past completion of a primary vaccine series and no more than 270 days (9 months) from the date of disembarkation since receiving the last dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine.

Minimum age to sail is 6 months or 12 months based on cruise itinerary, review Passage Contract for details. Tests must be conducted in-person by medical personnel and guests will need a physical letter with the negative results. Test results proctored by video are not accepted.

I presume and hope that they are done filming on the Regal. We sail in September.

Yes I just saw that. I now wonder if it was an editorial mistake to begin with? Or something changed since yesterday.

Yup, give it a minute things will change again.

Dang. They changed the UK site to exclude the EU now. Not the direction I wanted. Unless otherwise communicated, all guests ages five and older must take a viral COVID-19 test (PCR or antigen) within three days prior to embarkation on the ship. This can be done at any time in the three days before on the day of embarkation. Guests no longer need to provide a test certificate, however they will be asked to confirm that the test has been taken, with a negative result, as part of the pre-boarding health declaration at the cruise terminal/airport. Guests under five years of age are exempt from pre-cruise testing. (Please note that these updated guidelines apply to the UK but not to the U.S., Canada or EU).

Up to you. If you can't cancel the video test with a refund or just want the added peace of mind, you could just complete the video tests as planned. They are not saying it can't be proctored. You could still fill out the attestation.

Interesting 🤔 Depends on what affiliated means. Wound this exclude the proctoring services like onpoint that except any FDA approved test? More conflicting information. This is a total mess! Just eliminate all pre-cruise testing and be done with this crap.

Unfortunately conflicting information is the new normal for Princess. When I follow the health and safety links on the personalizer for our upcoming cruise next month it still shows the June 24th updates.

Yes please

Even for dumbbells 😉?

Do you (or anyone) have experience with this one? Our at home tests are not ihealth ones. So onpoint or rapidtestandtrace.com might be our go to. They both say any FDA approved one.

Odd question, but I'm sure someone here will know. Do the fitness centers have lighter free weights, specifically 3lb? DW will need to continue some rehab and we don't want to pack that.

And during the day NUTS (Noise under the sun)

That has been the case, however I have not seen ours for our cruise next month even though I submitted it several times. The last time was in early July. I called Princess and was assured that it has been applied. I asked why it wasn't showing on the personalizer and she said we are having some issues updating things. That was last week and still not showing there.

Maybe why it works. If more could find it, it might get overwhelmed also. 😉

The one thing I recall most about Loreto was the heat. I don't think I saw the time of year you are going but stay hydrated and wear a sun hat.

Depends, does your crystal ball say recovery or bankruptcy? "Kicking a dead horse" or "what doesn't kill you , makes you stronger"? Only time will tell.

Yes, the med sailings are sold each way as 7, 14 or 21day.

Our sept 10 Regal shows the same thing. Not sure how long, but it has been at least a week now.

Because they know they can trust people not to lie 😉.

To get those on the fence to fall their direction.

This is us. Depends on the itinerary. I Don't see that option.

My life is boring enough that I don't worry about being tracked. I am certainly no expert, but wouldn't the cruise card have also recorded where and when in the system each time you made a purchase, or maybe even opened your cabin door?

That has been poorly worded for a long time. As of our April cruise, the auto "crew incentive" charges and casino account transfers were still a simple charge to the stateroom account and OBC was used to offset that. What I think they are trying to say is that you cannot simply gift OBC's to a crew member as added gratuity directly.

Looks like the EU is ending most pre cruise testing requirements.
