Hello, What is the protocol should one of your guests test positive for Covid before setting sail. Considering this is an oversea sailing. Thanks

Anyone else receive letters from MSC saying pay within 7 days or we cancel your cruise. My final balance is not due yet. No issue of when I pay it but this is now the second letter from MSC saying pay now or we cancel your cruise. Booked direct and spoke to customer service who say not to worry and work to your confirmation payment date but it still isn’t nice receiving this letters by email. First time with MSC having always been RC and so far, other issues apart from this, I am not convinced.

Unfortunately we are 40's for unlikely to be offered one following a discussion with local health board. I just hope MSC change their policy. Having looked at other liners, they have all relaxed or about to relax their requirements, which would make us able to sail as we are.

Not in the UK. We have a 4th booster roll out starting now but it is only for the venerable. According to our health service, having 3 jabs is classed as fully vaccinated for the low risk.

Are you based in the UK?

Hi, yes we have booked the PCR in Dubai so all good on that front. The issue is with the vaccine requirements. MSC want the last booster within 12 months of sail end date. This is impossible as most would have been jabbed by end of December 2021. There are many people on the same situation.

Yes, UK resident.

We have had the original 2 doses plus the booster. There are no more available to us as we are fully vaccinated. Yet this won’t be sufficient, based on MSC policy. as it stands it will be impossible to sail with them.

Hi booked on the 31st December Dubai cruise. MSC requirements state they require certification of fully vaccinated, which is fine, we are. However it must be within 12 months of the sail end date. Ours are not, we have the final booster in mid December 2021. As the vaccine programme was rolled out in 2021, with the booster to be for the autumn/winter, how can they have a policy that requires 12 months when this is impossible. There is the 4th booster roll out starting but this is only marked for the venerable group. Anyone have any more info on this and whether there is anything that can be done? We will be having the PCR test before we sail as required.

Hello, First time travelling since Covid. We be on the World Europa from 31st December. We are extending our stay by having a few days in Dubai before sailing. My question is regarding the proof of negative PCR. How can I overcome this if it needs to be 48 hours before to board ship? We are fully vaccinated. Thanks
