Rare LHT28 Posted April 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2022 is this what you are looking for? https://www.oceaniacruises.com/sites/default/files/2022-04/travel-entry-requirements.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted April 15, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thanks LHT. What I am looking for is what is at the top of O website--risk free planning. Only clicking the health protocols takes you to a Feb. 22, 2022 Sail Safe doc. Have read it. Nothing about cancelling. Would like to know -- for comparison -- (On Viking, they have have a 14 day CXL policy, issuing FCC for amount paid. No financial risk.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the link goes nowhere If you used a TA it would probably be a good question for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted April 15, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Called O. Regular CXL policy applies, with an adjustment: you can CXL 30 days before final pmt, and get refund of dep. Was looking at a 16 night, has final pmt. due 150 days prior to sail date. I like Viking risk free policy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloise4Ever Posted April 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2022 It is certainly true that Viking and Azamara have a much more flexible approach to cancellation than O. Seems like O have decided the pandemic is over. Except they insist on passengers obtaining a negative test (at their own expense) before boarding. Looks like they want to have their cake and eat it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to precruise testing, all the lines are requiring this no matter where you cruise. It's a major PITA especially if your cruise is not starting in the US.

I will be cruising on NCL from Stockholm in August, if testing is still required I am going to have to find and pay for a covid test in Stockholm before boarding. I went on a Celebrity cruise in December and X did not pay for the precruise test. No line does that I know of. And of course you have to pay for your test-to-return to the US if flying home from Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamara provided pre-boarding tests at their expense in December and they are still providing this service for their guests.

Oceania provided pre-boarding tests at their expense in December too....this was just recently eliminated. Most cruise lines no longer are providing free pre-embarkation testing at the pier. We used proctored COVID test in our hotel room prior to embarkation and those cost $30.00 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
