Thank you for your input - esp looking to see Puffins!

Taking Sirena around Iceland this July and we are looking for input on the many excursions offered. Any advice as to choices to look at or skip? We were in Reykjavik for a couple of days in 2006 prior to sailing to Greenland and Labrador, but only saw the Rift valley and some thermal plants. We are hoping the volcano issues are over by then! Thx in advance.

Well - depends on which line you're using. Here is what our situation is: We had mild COVID in early June - recovered well - did our quarantine. Then found about the "Documentation of recovery" guideline from CDC as we may still test positive for 90 days. Got an official POS PCR test and a letter form our Dr that we have recovered. This constitutes the requirements for the CDC Doc of recovery. Called Oceania to make sure that if we still test POS 24 hrs before embarkation we can still go. NO THEY DON'T RECOGNISE THE CDC GUIDELINE - Doc of Recovery - only a NEG test no matter what. Tried to get someone in the Oceania "Sail Safe" to ask why they are not following CDC guidlines and recriminating against recovered customers. No luck! So now we wait! Looks like RCL does honor the CDC DOR. Called AM Queen Steamboat and they DO recognize the Doc of recovery & that embarkation will be w/i the 90 days. Good luck. JB
