This will show restrictions by voyage AND by port - it is a wonderful tool that Regent has provided and should be very helpful.

Thanks for posting this link. We were not aware of it although we are in compliance with requirements having found them elsewhere.  Very timely for us since we leave in two weeks.

"within 72 hours of your travel date"

Does that mean 72 before I board my flight to my precruise destination where I will stay several days, or within 72 hours of boarding the ship.

If you (or anyone) are able to clarify I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks

72 hours prior to your flight departure. You will be tested again at the pier. As I understand it, the 72 hours is a requirement of the country you are flying into.  You wont be allowed on the flight without the 72 hour test.  At least this is the way it worked when embarking in Southampton on 9/22.

Except for countries where they don't have that requirement.  Like Denmark right now.  I assumed it was 72 hours before you boarded.  Pre-cruises definitely stretch that model, especially if they are several days long.

Thanks for posting. It's nice to get information directly from the horses mouth

Incorrect assumption on your part. We spent 4 days in London prior to boarding

It is 72 hours prior to leaving on your trip....personally, I will base it off the time the first flight leaves.

 

They want to know you are NOT sick before leaving on your trip.

Thanks so much!!

Thanks for this information. I note that Regent require the PCR/antigen test details and results to be in English. As I live in France, mine will unsurprisingly be - in French. Has anyone had problems when showing proof of testing in another language? Will my translation be adequate?

[Pcardad]

I will give my standard advice for important issues.

 

Email Regent directly and keep the written reply with you.

Yes of course they do, for insurance and liability purposes.  But don't they want you tested 72 hours before you board as well?  What if someone takes a week-long pre-cruise, for instance?

Wow, good point. I wonder what the U.S. and Canada do about this problem, i.e., tests that returning travellers must take abroad?

You are REQUIRED to be tested immediately before boarding.

You are suggested to be tested 72 hours before your trip...to establish baseline of not being sick before your trip begins.

Regent has you tested on board. If you stay for additional post-cruise vacation you are on your own.

Yes, as I said.  It's the 72 hours that's the issue, when you have a pre-cruise stay.  So it sounds like you'd want to: test before you leave home; then test again 72 hours prior to boarding; then of course Regent would test you again on board.

Of course.  I was referring to the language issue.

I read it as getting tested 72 hours before your first flight (suggested) and mandatory testing at the port....but as I have posted many times, I would email Regent and carry their written reply with you. Or just get tested along the way...it is much cheaper than borking your cruise.

Regent will test you prior to boarding.

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant.

[Grandmaanne7]

Thank you for posting this.  I find it helpful and reassuring.

Old expression… he was 1987 Supreme Court nominee… anyone else remember this? Showing my age….

Bellaggio:

 

A trip down Memory Lane.  Bork was third down-the-line in DOJ as to carrying out Nixon's plan to somehow derail the Watergate investigation.  Elliott Richardson, AG; and Assistant AG Ruckelshaus, refused to fire the Special Prosecutor appointed to head that investigation.  They were fired in the "Saturday Night Massacre".   

 

Bork "carried out orders" and did so.  So--that action led directly to accelerating the investigation; which ultimately led to Nixon's resignation.  

 

Bork was, thereafter, persona non grata as far as getting confirmed by the U.S. Senate for a Supreme Court position.  

 

Well remember that Saturday night.  

 

Now, the above editorial is WAY OFF TOPIC.  But, could not resist.  

 

GOARMY!

I find it interesting (and encouraging) that the first cruise to embark from Miami on November 15th does not explicitly require face masks on board.

We live in France. My husband recently had a Pcr test here and the digital results on the app are in English.
