Predict the Date HAL will drop pre-cruise Testing for all cruises...

[NavyCruiser]

It will happen, whether this month, next few months, next year, or few years down the road.

Just predict when.

Please, Please, Please, NO arguments, NO political statements, whether if you're pro or anti-testing, pro or anti-vaccine.

I'll start:   Sept 3, 2022

My wife:  Jan 1, 2023

[Skoogs]

August 29th 2022, the day after we board the NA in Vancouver…🤣🤣🤣

We sail on 29 Dec 22, so I am in favor of your guess not your DW.

Mid 2023 earliest.

 

HAL doesn't do nearly as many short cruises as other lines and longer cruises can't dump pax off before they get that sick because pax will get sick while on board much more likely than a shorter cruise 

 

 

[CruiserBruce]

As Canada and Greece still REQUIRE tests to board, I think they have a vote in this...

[Mary229]

HAL has been curiously quiet.  No clue

Oct 1, 2022. 

[Hflors]

December 31, 2022   the day I have to be tested for my cruise on January 3, 2023.  I hope October 31, 2022 so I don't need to be tested for my November cruise...

The day after the last Alaska cruise for HAL in 2022.  So mid-Oct this year.   I also have a mid-Oct cruise to Panama Canal, so hope it will be before then!

Never. Long Int’l cruises to ‘outbreak destinations’ (and maybe for the elderly) will have testing. YELLOW FEVER Vax comes to mind. 

[SJSULIBRARIAN]

Mid 2023 for 7-day or less cruises and perhaps never for longer cruises.

I envision us Int’l cruisers carrying a little ‘Library Card’ showing our Vax history AND our most recent Neg. test.

November 23 my birthday!

[Homala]

I am hoping it is by your date in early September so we don’t have to test for our cruise on September 17th, but I admit that I think it won’t be until later, maybe even early to mid 2023. But I’m still crossing my fingers!

[BermudaBound2014]

I think that testing on 7 day and shorter cruises will be gone in October 2022. 

[FlaMariner]

November 1, 2022...........

 

(Just need the testing foolishness/dance/hoops/craziness to end before we board with the family for our Thanksgiving cruise!)

Then they'll start with "monkey pox" vax requirement🤪

Most HAL - aged cruisers got the smallpox vaccine as school kids. It’s 85% effective against monkey pox. We’re already good to go.

So my guess is the C vax requirement will drop when the MP vax requirement begins. I’ll go with November 1.

HAL will make the announcement on 4/1/2023 with a follow up on 4/2/2023.

So I guess we will be asked to roll up our sleeves?  Which new indignity can they dream up next?😮
