Jimbo Posted April 1, 2022 #226 Share Posted April 1, 2022 With all these test people are taking along the way what happens if anyone tests positive?..........Do all the wheels stop turning and are you quarantined right there(and for how long) and everyone else proceeds with their land tour or cruise and you are left behind to fend for yourself. Is that what would happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent one e-mail to our hotel to ask for places to do it and there is one right in front of our hotel 🙂 Waiting to RC confirm the protocols for our sailing (May) but at least we have several plan B in our Google maps 😉 https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/covid/covid-19-pcr-test-in-barcelona.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Radiance class ships, including Serenade, but no way could I handle that much time on that small ship…… or any ship now that I think about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, love that class of ship. But 3 weeks or so would be plenty for us. After that, get me off the ship. World cruise is an awful long time to commit to no matter how much you love to cruise.

Well, in this case, the ship is not the destination.😉 I really can't think of a better ship to do it on. She has the highest space to passenger ratio in the fleet. They didn’t add a bunch of JS's in the spa like Jewel did. Plenty of al fresco dining, great solarium, small enough to get into unique ports, great lounges, low passenger count to not overwhelm the mass tours, etc...

I just scrolled through the itinerary and my finger cramped up. Just to long, more power to you, that you want to do it.

I get what you said, the ports sound amazing, but I still couldn’t do it. Even one leg is too long. And I have a hard enough time convincing hubby to do a TA 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully vaccinated guests and unvaccinated kids can visit ports of call freely. However, additional testing requirements may exist in some countries for guests who are not considered up to date by EMA standards. These standards currently apply to guests age 6 and above for stops in Italy, and guests 12 and above for the rest of Europe. Onboard Guests who are considered unvaccinated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or who are not up-to-date with their vaccines will require additional testing during our sailings. This test is at the guest's expense if they are ages 12 and up and considered unvaccinated or if they are not up-to-date at the price of $55 USD per test. These guests will receive registration information once onboard based on the below. During the Cruise: Depending on our itinerary, guests 12 and older — or 6 and older in Italian ports — will have additional testing requirements. Prior to Disembarking: Guests 12 and older who meet the above criteria will test before disembarking. Guests under 2 years old are not required to test.

I'm still reading through it and it's not entirely clear. It looks as though they will be able to but will have to be tested onboard. For U12s, this testing appears to be free. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/if-i-am-not-up-to-date-on-vaccinations-in-europe-where-will-i-need-additional-testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empehi Posted April 12, 2022 #244 Share Posted April 12, 2022 One day testing sailing out of Rome. It looks like you can't test prior to the flight to Rome unless you are flying the day before the cruise and you would have only the morning to get the test. This is crazy! Does anyone read into the notice that you can just get tested by RCL just before boarding? Otherwise we have to scramble in Rome for a test and pay who knows what. e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianmama3 Posted April 12, 2022 #246 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Can some explain the days before sailing to me. Say you sail from Spain on a Friday. It says you can test 2 days prior. So does that mean you can test on the Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
