molymoo Posted June 24, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2021 We are booked on the 7/6 Bermuda cruise and overnight we received an email from Viking that spelled out the very specific requirements for the Bermuda cruise … including a timeline and document checklist. We’re on track and hope this helps others who may not be spending as much time here on CC as we are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare B_A_H Posted June 24, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Here's a link to the PDF. It's very thorough and dated 6/22. https://docs.vikingcruises.com/pdf/14-210622-RestartPreCruiseRequirement-Bermuda-US.pdf I guess if ~90 people of 450 (~20%) missed the ship for the first Orion sailing it was in Viking's best interest to get involved in the pre-departure process. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but sadly, there could have been a number of those 90 people who didn't make it due to no fault of their despite their valiant efforts in following all the steps carefully: 1. The COVID PCR tests took longer than thought possible 2. The Bermuda Government screwed up and didn't process valid authorizations - through errors and ommissions on their part (as stated by several passengers on cc so far) Sadly - having this checklist would not have helped them at all and will not help others until they (Bermuda) improve the process or Viking (improves/relaxes the non-refundable aspect of these trips due to ineptitude of others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
