Thank you. Painful. We live in hope that all will be well once we're on board but it's just so unclear. Proves how desperate we are to sail again....

We are being blinded by supposed EU regulations. Initially we had to have a lateral flow no more than 24 hour prior to boarding (we live in UK, travelling to Venice tomorrow (9th) and then board Dawn on the 10th As we'd be travelling, this would have been difficult to time and the offered 'pre cruise hotel' testing was not 'valid' for us even though we are staying in a SS booked hotel. Then on 1 June it was relaxed to the 72 hours that seems to now be on the website only to receive, this morning, the day before travelling that it's back to 24 hours for a lateral flow. Seriously, you couldn't make up the confusion and additional stress that we are now experiencing on our long awaited cruise (May 2020 now moved 3 times). We have decided to continue with our lateral flow in London tomorrow at 9:45 so will some 30 hours before sailing but hey ho, let them deal with us at port side if this isn't sufficient. What would be good though, is to hear from somebody who has recently said in Europe if you're out there please???? Need less stress so I can enjoy the journey (Gosh help us in Heathrow though) as well as the cruise.
