Bandy Matelot Posted October 16, 2021 #28 Share Posted October 16, 2021 As regards Lisbon the entry requirements have been changed in that you no longer need a test before going ashore but you can't go ashore unless it is an authorised Cunard excursion. Can someone please explain why this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please explain why this is? There seems to be a lot of confusion with regards to Lisbon as since Cunard produced their port guide to whether you need tests and if you can get off independently/shore excursion there are some saying that Portugal Government have relaxed its rules and you dont need test and you can get off independently. How true that is we will have to wait and see when we arrive into port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom as i said to you earlier in this thread, the entry requirements changed on the 4th October.Cunard did not update their website until the 11th October, it says that you do not need a test no more but you can not go ashore unless you are booked on a Cunard excursion, this afternoon i was on the phone to ask them this and other questions regarding our upcoming cruise, unfortunately for some reason after being on hold for 2 hours i was cut off. I will phone them again on Monday hopefully to get an answer and i will post their reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandy Matelot Posted November 5, 2021 #32 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Good news Cunard has once again changed its requirements for going ashore in Lisbon. It is no longer necessary to go on an authorised Cunard shore excursion, no test required either see https://www.cunard.com/content/dam/cunard/marketing-assets/pdf/port-entry-requirements/CUNARD-A-Z-destination-entry-requirements.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LadyL1 Posted November 6, 2021 #35 Share Posted November 6, 2021 How odd! Cunard and the last post re P&O, differ, re leaving ships in Portugal and Madeira as st 8.50 this morning. I hope the Cunard one is correct! However, the above link might change if P&O update their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tests required and you can go ashore independently.On the P & O site it states unvaccinated people over the age of 12 have to be tested but to be able travel on Cunard presently, everyone needs to be fully vaccinated, so this would not apply to Cunard sailings.

I'd just been reading the FCO advice but your post is much more concise. The only thing I'd like to know now is do we have to do PLF's for each county we enter? (I know we have to do one for coming back into the UK) or is there some mass form submitted by the ship to the port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbtablet Posted November 9, 2021 #42 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I assume you meant country, not county! My understanding is that the PLF is a UK thing only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesanne Posted November 9, 2021 #43 Share Posted November 9, 2021 PLF is UK only I have created accounts for us on gov.uk as we cannot submitt till 21 days before returning to the UK, also ordered our LFT's as you need the unique number for the form 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
