I take it your flight wasn't before noon?

A bit nerve wracking for any earlier time than that!!

Our flight was 1:20 and so had plenty of time. We also had our flights booked through FlightEase so we were not worried about a delay and missing our flight (at least financially)

The process was overall pretty simple and efficient, but if not booked through FlightEase, I agree and would have been nervous for anything before noon, although we would OK in our case.

Do you know if a screen shot of your COVID results on your phone can be used at check in or must you have a hard d copy? 

We used screen shots with no problem in October on the NA out of San Diego.

From HALs FAQs - The following formats are acceptable proofs of a negative COVID-19 test: paper negative COVID-19 test results (original only; no photocopies accepted), digital or emailed COVID-19 test results; or record of COVID-19 testing from a healthcare provider including original digital email notification or personal electronic health record.

Glad to see HAL's FAQs are correct!

People like that should be put off the flight immediately.  

 

Agree.  Might prevent some type of confrontation with Flight Attendants during the flight.

With no masking on NCL and Celebrity why would an anti-masker insist on booking HAL?

 

Maybe because one prefers Holland America Line over Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Line?

Can any cruise conversation here not include ranting and handwringing  about masks?

 

Welcome to December 17, 2021.  This is the current condition of our Nation and the concerns about those who post on CC.  And, I will add:  how about the ranting and refusals to recognize that We, the People, need to be fully vaccinated against Covid?  Unless, of course, one wants the disease to continue to be a pandemic and not an endemic.

Thanks, OP, for your report.

 

Masks required to be worn by crew?  Masks needing to be worn by guests?  Have no interest in investing money into a "vacation" that I would not enjoy.  

Exactly.  It's a deal breaker for a lot of people, including my husband & me.

I thought from your previous posts that the deal breaker was having to be vaccinated.

 

Have you changed your mind about that?

Stay safe and stay home is a good philosophy, or cruise on X that doesn't (at least right now) require masks. Otherwise don’t worry about what others do - please!
