Mark, as you are in the UK right now, you have fewer issues regarding flights home. As there is no test requirement there would not be any reason to test. I suspect many from the UK have simply disembarked in Civitavecchia knowing that they have Covid, but also knowing that they would be fine to fly home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you are right, but I would never plan on ignoring local laws/regulations even if I could (which is somewhat ironic given this it Italy we are talking about 🙂 )... All of this will improve in time and Italy will still be there, so happy to wait, and fortunately although far from young, we do still have a good few cruising years ahead of us. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An official positive test seemed to only impact the individual(s) in the room with + If there were any positives, you can bet close contacts were being tested whether you were aware of it or not.

If they are on APEX we're not aware...and I tested POSITIVE. We chatted and dined with some...who were not tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananavan Posted May 20, 2022 Author #356 Share Posted May 20, 2022 For everyone who has been so supportive and kind, I finally tested negative. Our bags are packed and we are awaiting reassignment. We will fly home tomorrow. So many of you have lifted me up in hope. I pray none of you ever find yourselves in my position.

Have a great flight, I know you'll finally be able to relax once the wheels leave the ground, but it will be great to just get outside as a start. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
