needleseye Posted October 24, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The US Government announced earlier this month than non-US citizens who have visited a Shengen country (Spain) will not be allowed to enter the US until 14 days after leaving the Shengen country. This cruise is 12 days taking off from Barcelona so non-US citizens will not be allowed to land according to this ruling. Oceania claims they are not aware of this ruling and our travel company Cruise Holidays claims non-US citizens should not have a problem. Apparently the US gov't will issue an update on Nov 8th, but the covid situation is Spain is not good so in my opinion this embargo will not be lifted. Oceania has declined to offer a comment. If anyone has further information please let us know. We would really like to do this cruise after 2 years of none. Here is a pertinent notes from Sherpa on an Air Canada web: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More recent info from US Gov't Update on U.S. Travel Policy Requiring COVID-19 Vaccination Last Updated: October 15, 2021 As announced by the White House today, the new travel policy requiring foreign nationals traveling to the United States to demonstrate proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 will take effect November 8. The CDC’s website explains that, for purposes of entry into the United States, the accepted vaccines will include FDA approved or authorized and WHO Emergency Use Listing vaccines. (Please see https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html.) The CDC and the interagency are working to develop the orders and guidance documents to implement this new travel policy, and those details -- for the airlines, for airline passengers, and for people coming to the land border -- will be available well in advance of November 8 to understand what is required to be in compliance. The Department will provide further information on travel.state.gov as it becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
