FionaL91 Posted March 25, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2021 This is very surprising given the UKs current stance on holidays abroad, unless they are for UK passengers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatherbelle Posted March 25, 2021 #9 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Anyone on these sailings will need sea sickness pills. I hope we are not opening our borders anytime soon. I sure hope they are for U.K. residents only. I’d love to go on the Greek one, but only too scared to travel overseas this year. We need to keep the variants at bay, until we’ve all had the jabs. Or at least try and keep them at bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvlandandsea Posted March 25, 2021 #10 Share Posted March 25, 2021 What about September October. We are booked on a 10 night October cruise. Any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsgoggins Posted March 25, 2021 #11 Share Posted March 25, 2021 How interesting! My head’s swirling with questions and so I hope if it goes ahead they let us know soon! I have a Fjords cruise in August and a Canaries in October booked, so I’m a bit more hopeful for the latter, knowing that the ship is at least coming to the U.K. Now what to do about a round the U.K. cruise - for me it will be down to Celebrity requiring everyone on board to be vaccinated and, probably no children just yet.

iandjm Posted March 25, 2021 #14 Share Posted March 25, 2021 This looks pretty much like I guessed it would. The last one of the U.K. cruises gets back on the right day for the first of the originally planned September cruises so hopefully they hope for the planned schedule, although with modified ports to restart then. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apex cruises are accepting children with a negative Covid test and vaccinated adults and so presume if these cruises do go ahead, they will follow similar requirements.

wrk2cruise Posted March 25, 2021 #16 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Email stated crew and guests 18 must and older be vaccinated. Celebrity Apex will sail with all crew and guests above the age of 18 vaccinated against COVID-19, and those under the age of 18 with negative PCR test results.

RC positions for all lines is to sail with all vaccinated crew and passengers with a negative test to be taken before sailing for children. I also believe that these will be only for UK residents.

There is talk about this. If N I residents aren't allowed to travel this season, cruise tour buses might get a troublesome reception in certain areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine if ships are permitted to call in NI then NI residents will also be able to travel to other parts of the U.K. seems to be fair.
