As I have been saying forever. Do not rely on generic info

Not on the health tool or the personalizer for a cruise going to Colombia It specifies PCR test or medically observed antigen test for non vaccinated passengers. I would not take the risk of using a self test and risk not getting on board

Not on the health tool or the personalizer for a cruise going to Colombia

But he is referencing a Celebrity cruise in 2023

If you are in a Celebrity cruise why are you asking about what happens on Princess ? I haven’t used a printed boarding pass for years

I have a cruise in March and mine does show. They may be waiting to see if a particular port or country makes changes. On mine Colombia changed their rules and now I am seeing people who are unvaccinated being very upset that they need a medically supervised test and are somehow blaming Princess

You have put your voyage number into the health tool and get nothing back ?

Like I keep saying I urge everyone to look at specifics for their individual cruise and not look at general guidelines. In the personalizer for my Panama Canal cruise if I click on important notices it tells me exactly who needs a test and what kind it has to be. Same information shows up if I enter my voyage number in the health tool. Also be prepared for changes at any time. People who complain about changes based on changes made by particular ports are being unrealistic

I find it hard to believe anyone could afford to pay for a cruise and then object to paying for a test. It would be like objecting to paying for a visa

On the Pacific several years ago there was a woman who walked up to the lobby bar for coffee drinks every day in bare feet and I was amazed no one stopped her. Recently there was a live from thread from a woman on a canal cruise who talked about sending her husband down to get coffee on his pajamas also she went on deck to witness the first locks in her pajamas and talked about going back to her cabin to shower and put clothes on

And window suites are also considered full suites

Everyone on any cruise should be prepared for testing at any time based on circumstances on board

It is just a name change. No biggie

On that cruise vaccinated passengers do not have to show any test results. Again every cruise has different requirements

I have no ties at all now. Here in Portland we live a pretty casual life style. Formal for me is slacks, long sleeve shirt and sports coat

It should be very clear on the Princess website personalizer for your cruise. On my canal cruise in March which stops in Colombia the “important” notices includes non medically observed tests for non vaccinated passengers will not work

But there are limits. I do not enjoy watching people walk about the ship in bare feet or showing up in the dining room in pajamas.

I would love this change. Vigo is a wonderful place. Situations change constantly

Been there fine that. I will probably wait till after my Panama cruise in March to deal with it. Sometimes it seems that if you have too many future cruises there are extra problems

The easiest thing to do is put your voyages number into Princess health tool. It will tell you what you need. Anyone who is going to rely on a self test is taking way to much a chance in my opinion

My problem is that I have 6 future cruises. 2 are b2b. on my one in June no problem but on my September one only the 2nd one shows so I am missing the first portion of the cruise.

My understanding is that if you test positive for covid different rules apply

No. Full suites only

If you take the forward or aft elevators you will find them much less crowded than mid ships

I think you will be using the bathroom in shifts. You may want to think about some using the showers in the spa. I have done that in my younger days when we would put 3 in an inside cabin
