That’s helpful thank you, I will go and read them and highlight key words.

Yes, I have highlighted lots of relevant info in bright yellow . Honestly ,if they can't see by all that ,that I'm covered ,then I give up.

I read a report this week following Spain's decision to allow cruise ships to dock as from Monday 7th June. No mention of restrictions on independent exploring. Should be good for some of the later cruises there .

I am taking my Staysure travel certificate and endorsement letter from Staysure but only taking relevant section of main insurance booklet with reference to Covid and also section showing table of benefits of insurance. My Policy booklet is 52 pages long and I certainly am not going to print that lot off to take with me.

Yes , Cover for you suggested just pages 5-7 were all that was needed .

As I used Cover For You,I do have the 44 page policy document, additional pages about the Covid Cover, the genetic cover letter, printed from their site, saying they cover medical and repatriation on the Coastal cruises, and, oh, yes, the actual Insurance certificate to confirm DH and I actually bought the policy! 
I hope no one is caught behind me in the queue.

 

I am really hoping that the staff checking under go some training.  Companies like Staysure and Cover for you, are automatically covering covid and coastal cruises on police's bought after a certain date,  so they shouldn’t need to read the 50+ pages I present them with. Just check the policy is current and covers both of us.

 

i know I am covered if it takes a little time its a minor hindrance, nothing more, I will be on my holiday.😀. 

 

 

 

 

I'm taking exactly what you have printed out too,plus an email

Do you have the endorsement letter/email to hand? 

 

Our email has the policy number clearly stated in the subject line and I am addressed by name, also it mentions the up and coming P&O staycation cruise, so very much specific in our case.

I've done the same ,had an email conversation with policy number in subject and I'm referred to by name .

However . The endorsement letter says "all policies sold by...." So when you're standing there with a certificate of insurance,you're showing a policy ,sold by ...and so on . As already mentioned ,the documents are being checked by people not in the insurance industry . Crazy really .

We are fortunate to be using this Forum and are aware, there will be many others who are not. 

Dead right. I've just showed my boss, who's going on his first cruise, what he needs to be printing out and taking with him, eg cover letter and so on. He had no idea, and would've been in a situation, had I not made him aware 

I particularly like the white with black lapels . Very nice all of them 

Yes , and careful ,as it's easy to suddenly find you're on ships satellite internet.

Thanks Snow Hill and MX-Drew, I didn't realise that, I will check

A few of the insurance companies are realising the need for cover for the UK  cruises and those to nowhere and are providing cover letters .

cue me doing an online chat with my insurer to check all is covered, they confirmed it was - I have printed out the chat page just in case

Good idea. I've printed out emails

What annoys me is P&O refuse to advise if my policy meets their requirements.

As I have an email stating P&O can not advise on the suitability of an insurance policy, if I’m told at check in my policy doesn’t meet their requirements I will say “P&O can not advise on my insurance” and show them the email.

 I should add I’m covered as confirmed by the insurance company.

Yes that's a thought . Not experts ,but will be at the terminal . However, I'm glad that there's an affordable solution,for anyone not adequately covered. When faced with not being able to board ,or "pay up 22 quid and you're on " ,I know what I'd choose 😁

Was just going to ask about that. It looks like the same cabin on the replacement voyage we are looking at is already booked. One of us would have to change. I am willing to except a free upgrade😊.

The other question is on the OBC promotions, will they transfer also?

. I didnt have any myself but I'd hope they will do that

For those that are familiar with doing this, how do you pick your cabin on the replacement cruise?  I just filled out the online form for a replacement cruise but it didn't ask me what cabin I wanted.  I studied the currently available cabins in my category to know what to pick but alas was not asked.  Are we now a guarantee?

When I had my Scandinavia cruise cancelled and swapped to next year, there was no option, and then, a few days later, my original cabin appeared on my new booking on my account page. No notification or anything . I heard those who couldn't be accomodated, in originally booked cabin, were contacted to discuss options

  Searched but didn’t find information about whether or not Princess ships will have COVID Testing onboard. Most if not all countries and some US states (Hawaii for example) require a current negative test results in hand at arrival.
 Princess has stated that they will comply with port requirements at each stop. Does that mean they will test and provide each passenger with valid test results?  And who pays for it?

It states that any tests included . They can swallow that cost ,as they'll want you onboard, spending money and not cancellations

I presume  you can download or take a screen shot of the NHS app page showing proof of vaccination,  in case of no connection at terminal.

That's a good idea

Fair enough - but you can always go to the buffet for a jug of "fresh" milk.

I was just saying I got milk from room service. Why some are thinking that I'm  dim and think I assume it's freshly delivered at sea ,I don't know. Anyway , thanks for making me feel terrible 

Just now, wowzz said:

And UHT skimmed milk tastes the same as fresh. 

It's the plastic small containers in the cabins many don't like .

Our surgery uses Systemonline too, and we re-order our 'scripts, make appointments etc. The only records we can get is our vaccination data which, like yours, shows all innoculations from childhood, but also the ones we had in 1980's when we began long haul travel, and then the flu, pneumonia and shingles that we had much later. So I am assuming/hoping that our Covid jabs will be on there later as well. If so, I hope they can be printed off🤞 

Trusting soul aren't I?

Avril

I see my surgery also used that system . I've got the NHS app and there's nothing about my medical records  on it at all . I'm hoping too .

I thought people on here were better educated than that on the ways of the ocean.  They obviously do get fresh milk every day, the Captain sends a couple of the crew every morning to milk the Sea cows. 

Nice response ,thanks

We also take a small fresh milk on as you say last about 5 days then we order room service breakfast, keep the milk jug they send and then every day go and get the milk up from the buffet as that one is fine better than the small long life milk you get in the cabin .

I order milk from room service free

Many thanks everyone for your help

We have done a Corinth Canal excursion with P&O which the part of the transit and return through the canal was very good the visit afterwards to a supposedly ancient ruin that the guide got very excited about was nothing more than your local building site IMO and the obligatory stop off at a shop for your purchases was a farce as those that got off the bus soon got back on and dont think anyone purchased anything because they all said it was either "tat" or very expensive.

Thank you

We did the Corinth Canal and Ancient Corinth about 4 years ago and it was a brilliant excursion.

The excursion through the canal is always amazing (done it with Celebrity and P&O and the P&O one was far better and half the price)

On our trip we did Ancient Corinth as well so had lunch at a beautiful hotel mid way through the day. It was a stunning location and one of those memories we will always have.

We loved the visit to Corinth - love ancient history and as Christians this place was very special to 'touch' history.

Ok we had the stop at the shop on the way re pottery but it was decent stuff and only half an hour.

We would highly recommend the Ancient Corinth and the Corinth Canal full day and if you just want to do the canal do for it. Loved it

After the last 2 years, go and enjoy --- think we are all appreciating what we can do more now than ever

Many thanks for your lovely reply 

Many thanks Eddie 99
