wesport Posted March 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I am reading Celebrity's fit to sail form, and they include anyone with cancer in the form as being unfit to sail. Currently I don't see a fit to sail form for Seabourn or Holland America. Celebrity included HIV, diabetes, cancer, lung disease, kidney , heart, or liver disease. Are these forms temporary, or permanent. Thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted March 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It’s still only required of those 70 and over on the date of the cruise. Those younger than 70 with those conditions are still not being excluded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesport Posted March 13, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The form if for over 70. So, my question is if you are 77, a cancer survivor in remission, should you just cancel your cruise.Does Seabourn even have this form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cancer reference is for those undergoing treatment with suppressed immune systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysonaship Posted March 14, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is going to hurt the cruise lines because the vast majority of passengers who can afford to cruise on higher end lines and Have the money to spend are older. 70 isn’t elderly needing a doctors permission to travel. We were going to Hawaii for a land trip in April and our primary care advised not to travel..same thing they are saying to everyone right now.

"Boarding will be denied to any person with a severe, chronic medical condition, including those specified by the CDC. Guests of all ages will be screened prior to boarding, regarding underlying health issues that may prevent them from sailing." Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted March 16, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2020 If you have approval from your doctor they won’t know of your existing conditions. If you want to take a chance and your doctor approves it’s all on you. Guess the cruise lines really got a rude awakening on the Diamond when they had to seek sources of all those required prescriptions. Sounded like the ship was more of a long term care facility than a cruise ship. Almost all of the desperately sick passengers were not healthy at the start of the cruise. Hopefully this is a wake up call and those with those conditions delay travel until the pandemic has run it’s course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipahain Posted March 16, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Governments are now banning over 70s leaving their homes . Going to crowded places etc and in the UK they are talking about 4 months of such restrictions for over 70s so cruising is out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norm2002 Posted March 17, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2020 When I took a flight from Panama to Colombia yesterday, I had to complete a form about where I had been and my health. How much more important is that when boarding a cruise ship to be confined in close proximity with a few hundred people for days or weeks. Incidentally, two hours after I landed in Colombia, the Government announced a ban on all foreigners (like me) commencing about twelve hours later.
