Vacation and Testing Requirements by Region updated today

[Loveh2ofl]

The good news - is it was updated for Canada - the bad news (from my perspective) is that Greece has gone the other way and now once again requires a booster for passengers 'visiting' . 

 

"Vaccination is required for voyages that depart, arrive or visit Greece. Testing is ONLY required for all voyages departing from Athens, Greece. Tests must be conducted in-person by medical personnel and guests will need a physical letter with the negative results. Test results proctored by video are not accepted."

So our cruise visits Greece.  We have had primary vaccine rounds and two boosters.  Last booster was in February which is over 270 days by the time we disembarkation on 12/2 BUT as I read it. We are OK? As we have 2 boosters ??

Opinions??

Only one booster required for Greece visits.

Still no change to Australia though....

Still forcing people on the enhanced guideline voyages to test, discriminating against a small group of people I have to waste my money to test.  What makes me different than someone else. I have already spent quite a bit of money to go and the cruise line tells you to test and it will cost me.

In the scope of the cruise costs, this is so minimal. It sounds like this is Greece's request and not Princess's.

Enhanced voyages. It is a pain, but we could be in the middle of the ocean and no medical facilities with a very ill guest.

It does happen, unfortunately, some have a hard time with covid.

 

We are just going with the flow. Not a big deal for us.

it's not Princess Cruises who have made the decision you need to be tested.... it's the government of the country you are going to that has put that requirement into place
