Do you know about any updates for the questionnaire asking about illnesses when you board? Don’t know, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be at least a Nurse Practitioner Not sure why you think you would qualify? I am licensed and a medical professional. I have Nurse practitioner friends as well. Would they be considered? I would love that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're overstepping the basis of the form, As I already mentioned you are NOT licensed to dx or order tx's which is what these documents require the ability to do. Yes the Nurse Practitioner is able to complete the form- AFTER evaluating the patient. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted April 17, 2020 #29 Share Posted April 17, 2020 We have 2 booked for 2021 and 1 for 2022. We'll be 71 and 72 on those cruises. Overall good health. No underlying conditions that would prevent travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted April 17, 2020 #30 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) For us age has nothing to do with booking future cruises or travels. As long as we have our heath (mind and body) we will continue to do our semi annual cruises and land travels.

denamo Posted April 17, 2020 #33 Share Posted April 17, 2020 1 hour ago, PNW Traveler said: It appears that cruise lines with membership in the CLIA are using the letter. Most of the larger cruise lines belong to this association. I located the association's website in order to determine its members. Viking was not listed. Hurtigruten was also not listed. Hurtigruten requires a physician's letter for its expedition cruises only. We may look at cruises on non-CLIA cruise lines - interesting itineraries, smaller ships and also higher prices. Interesting information. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if any other over 70 year old people are still booking a cruise, because of the letter which may or may not be necessary. I just need something to look forward to and want to believe I will be on a ship. I am healthy, no medications or health problems, walk 3 miles six days a week. My long time doctor isn't sure if she wants to sign the letter, but says I have no reason not to cruise. yup, husband is over 70 and I booked 4 cruises in the last month and will continue to book more. We have 18 right now through April 2022 with a few more to throw into that time frame. Optimistic this requirement will go away. Otherwise, hoping we have no issue with his doctor signing the letter since he has been with him for many years and is healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam0610 Posted April 17, 2020 #35 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Have Alaska cruise booked for July 31st, 2020. Plan on celebrating my 72nd birthday. Have Liberty booked for Oct 25th, 2020. Guess we will see if they let wife and I cruise. If not, I am sure the Hyatt in Maui will let me stay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueridgemama Posted April 17, 2020 #40 Share Posted April 17, 2020 So if this requirement is still in effect for our cruise and our Dr does not feel comfortable signing the letter will our cruise be cancelled? (We are both over 70, healthy with no serious medical conditions) If cancelled for that reason would we get a refund? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will offer you a FCC. Of course it could all change once cruises start up - but when that will happen is the big question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ans since you are a professional I suspect you already knew that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddycat Posted April 17, 2020 #46 Share Posted April 17, 2020 5 hours ago, mek said: But to answer the OP's question - no way in hell will I book anything else until a very effective treatment or a vaccine is available. Widespread antibody testing will also be necessary for me to feel comfortable getting on a ship in the future. Why would I ever want to risk this again where things get shut down, future cruises are canceled and I have to wait months for a refund, and they impose restrictions that may or may not prevent me from cruising? If I ever start cruising again it will probably be something I book at the last minute. It will be a long time before I would ever book a cruise way out from the departure date. This is exactly how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
