Hello, wanted to add my experience that my husband and I just got off the Apex 12 day British Isles cruise Thursday. It has been interesting and helpful reading everyone's varying experiences...
Tested positive last Saturday and weren't moved from our Sky Suite on deck 9. Looks like everyone else in our thread that tested positive stayed on the ship to complete their quarantine.
We weren't doing that, can't be confined to a room for that long. 🙂
Celebrity gave us our positive PCR tests signed by the doctor (as my insurance company told me would be required) and letters stating five days of quarantine had been completed. We were told the night before debarking we have to carry off our own luggage and would receive further instructions in the morning. We got an 8:20am call that the authorities had cleared us to depart and we walked off the ship with everyone else that was debarking at that time. No passport check or any other difficulty. Checked into a hotel and have been in our room or outside walking (about 10 miles a day so far.)
I had booked backup flights back to Chicago, but KLM changed our original flight for no charge so cancelled the back up.
Hope this info helps!
Terry
We were on the May 14 - 26 Apex cruise Amsterdam - Amsterdam. I had five nights of quarantine on the ship, my husband had four. Guest services called us at 8:20am on debarkation morning and said we had been cleared to depart the ship and we had to carry off our own luggage (which they already told us the night before.) We walked off with everyone else debarking and checked into a hotel for six nights in Amsterdam. No passport checks or any other difficulties.
