Europe and U.K. Sailings vaccination no longer needed as of Sept 5. Pre-cruise testing still required

Just received email.  No longer need to be vaccinated. BUT pre-cruise testing has not changed.

When do you sail? Just curious how far out they send the emails.

Sept. 23 from Southampton. Just got the email 20 minutes ago. I thought it was coming since there is nowhere on the check in to upload vaccine info.

Thanks for sharing. Was hoping for the opposite so wouldn't have to pack twice as many eMed proctored test kits nor look for testing sites in Europe. If testing was extended to 3 days prior, could test in home area  and fly out later the same evening, arrive in Europe the next morning and leisurely spend two days sightseeing.

Exactly. I was hoping they would follow Princess new rules.  Guess Norwegian’s no vaccine won out $$$ wise.

Testing, better to catch a few then none I guess. Less quarantine passengers they  have to deal with on the ship.

It’s also on the website so you can read it if you don’t get the email.

And the really silly thing, their sister company Celebrity, dropped proctored testing yesterday.
