The website country specific pages are the gospel.   Don't even bother to look at the stupid emails they are sending they have all been wrong, not updated with the updated requirements.  Don't call either as the reps are also giving out wrong info.

 

 

That may be but I'm bringing my EMED tests along anyway for our Apex cruise just in case

New guidelines on Celebrity site. 8 nights and under no testing as of September 5 for vaccinated guests.

That is not for all departure ports

I realize its tough understanding the requirement for a non-monitored test with the obvious ‘work arounds’ for those who’d take it, but I think the ‘help sell kits’ doesn't track for a company that if they dropped it all, would make a ton from those who would jump on board. More than a few aren't cruising because they don't want to put funds into a cruise, flights, hotels and so on for a case that cold end up being canceled due to Covid. 

 

As I think I posted earlier, so many threads on this subject, we’d are doing a TA out of Rome and it appears we can do a non-monitored test prior….with take a monitored just to be covered since currently stopping in Bermuda. So who knows….at least mid-Aug.

I just got off the X site, and it still shows the Aug. 8th protocols.

Where are you reading 8 nights or less?  I'm still seeing the guidance from before that says no testing for cruises 5 nights or less for the vaccinated (with some exceptions).

I’m on the Canadian site

The 8 days or less wording is on the Celebrity Canadian site but different wording in the US site - very weird.

Because of the strong US Dollar and the weak Canadian Dollar, the US number ‘5’ is equivalent to the Canadian ‘8’.

Brilliant, because I was going to write the same thing till I saw you beat me to it..  LOL

Some will say you're snarky and inappropriate.  I say it's great to have a sense of humor on this site to keep it interesting, as long as you're not mean to someone else or purposely providing false information.

The likelihood is the people updating the US site are slower than those tasked with updating the Canadian site.

Must be, I don’t see 8 days either. Celebrity must hire people who typing challenged.

UK site also states no testing for certain ports from Sept 5th.

Bizarrely I’ve just received an email from Celebrity reminding me to test before I travel on Sept 25th😩

I'm a Canadian and I think Denny is funny!  The Canadian dollar is a joke
