Kamfish642 Posted August 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I looked on-line and apparently the Australia government is no longer requiring a pre-entry COVID test, so why is Princess requiring a test for cruises leaving Australia? Looking at the Princess website posting, they are no longer requiring COVID test unless required by country; yet, they require a COVID test for cruises leaving an Australian port. Am I miss reading this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess has decided to follow the recommendation(s) and passengers need to have a pre-embarkation test. You know, not everything has to be done simply because there is a rule or law; organizations and people can choose to do things they believe are, in a bigger picture, in their best interests. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically yes a test but...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
