Has anybody else out there heard about this from their travel agent, airline or cruise line?

I just Googles this.

It looks pretty straight forward and cheap.

You can't apply for it yet. So hopefully somebody will let us know when we have to submit it.

Currently, the implementation date (which has been delayed a number of times) is November 2023.

November is what seems to be the start date from what different people have said. One less thing to have to worry about submitting for our July cruise. But will keep my ear to the ground in case things change.

It will definitely not be earlier than November.

it has been in the works  for several years  now  2018

 

Here is  a video from when they first  announced it

Just keep checking for updates if you have sailings after Nov'23 . The ETIAS start date has been put back multiple times for what seems like years.

If I’m not mistaken, arrivals in any European port right now each still have their own formalities and forms to submit before sailing. So it’s still a bit iffy and worth checking out to be sure.  Any future fees to EU are likely taking after the model Canada set years ago with the ETA fee for arriving foreign nationals travelling here. Crazy world.

Australia started doing this a few years before Canada.  

 

Looks to be the way the western world is going.

USA  also  with their  ESTA

I have been following their start date, which have been postponed a few times, now it shows start date November 2023.  
 

There is a place on their website, to  put your email address and they are suppose to let you know when it starts.

 

My cruise is a14 day Mediterranean and Israel cruise in November 2023 so very interested if we will need to apply for it.

If they are anything like the Australian one they will be a snap.  Fill out a  short form,  provide your credit card number, enter, it is over.   Visa arrives in less than 5 minutes.
