Loveh2ofl Posted September 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2022 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."

Rare Denmal Posted September 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2022 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??

cwaters32 Posted September 27, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2022 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.

It does happen, unfortunately, some have a hard time with covid. We are just going with the flow. Not a big deal for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
