This is the text taken off of the NCL's website. Unless I just don't understand things anymore it does not say anything about have to be tested or vaccinated. In fact it says I don't have to be. With the relaxation of travel requirements around the world, we’re thrilled to welcome all guests back on our ships to cruise freely to the places they’ve been dreaming of – regardless of vaccination status and with no testing requirements. uneamie you are correct. Sorry about the miss spelling of Colombia.

We are scheduled to take a 15 day Panama Canal cruise this month. A while back we received an email that informed us about the COVID19 policy as pertaining to Columbia. Since my task is making sure we are in compliance with all the rules as well as handling all the paperwork (wife does the hard part of organizing and packing), I just dismissed the email because we are both vaccinated. Then my wife read on Facebook about Columbia and asked if people would be tested in order to debark in Columbia. This started a good and interesting conversation. I went back and read the email and it says we must either show proof of being vaccinated or proof of a negative COVID19 test at time of boarding. It does not say what will happen if the test is positive. Since NCL's policy is to not require showing proof of testing or vaccination status but Columbia does require proof, will those who test positive still be allowed to cruise but not debark in Columbia?

I did Itinerary #1many years ago and had a great time. www3traveler mentioned the train out of Skagway, it was nice but some others recommended renting a car and driving yourself. That way when you saw something you liked, you could stop. My parents took the tram but my daughter and I did the zip-line. Water falls were everywhere and the starboard side was the best. On the way back, you will be looking at the ocean but we were so tired, we didn't care.

We booked a flight and hotel with NCL for a 1 day early arrival. At about 60 days out we received our flight and hotel information. The flight was for the day of the cruise and the hotel was for the day before the cruise. We called and they said they would fix it. 3 weeks later we get another email with flight information. It contained the same flight details. We called again and they said they were working on it. We called every week and every week we were told it was their fault and they were working on it. While my wife was getting stressed about not having the correct flight, it gave me time to look for other options. I was able to find out about the NCL stock program and the NCL military program. My wife was still stressed over the flight and after some praying that it was fixed, 12 days before the cruise our prayers were answered. Now because of the flight screw up we were able to figure out how to received a cabin upgrade, plus $500 OBC and a cheaper way to fly other than using the BOGO NCL air service.
