HalifaxYorksCruiser Posted May 30, 2021 #127 Share Posted May 30, 2021 After spending all week drifting off Limassol Jewel has this morning docked. Hoping this is a positive sign of preparing for Jewel commencing cruising in July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that there are incentives being offered too. Would be fascinating to know what rates those outside the UK are paying for the cruise, with or without flights…. This is my ignorance but are there separate RC sites applicable for Russia, Israel, Cyprus where you can find this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalifaxYorksCruiser Posted June 4, 2021 #131 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Got to pay for our 31st July Jewel cruise today. Not sure what to do in view of Cyprus still being on the Amber list and suspect the way U.K. Gov are going is not likely to go Green anytime soon.

I “think” that UK is still on the permitted list (https://cyprusflightpass.gov.cy/en/vaccinated-passengers) so we don’t have to do the test 72hrs before departure because that is on one section of the website, but I know we are on their Red list as per this update….who knows!

shopnagain Posted August 11, 2021 #140 Share Posted August 11, 2021 1 hour ago, CaroleC said: Does this mean the cruises will be cancelled now? However, besides green countries, fully vaccinated travellers, regardless of their nationality, are permitted to travel to the Republic of Cyprus without isolation or testing requirements. However, a required form must be filled in within 24 hours before reaching the Republic of Cyprus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icsys Posted August 11, 2021 #143 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) The UK has been on the Cyprus red list since the 8th of July and their 'rules' for fully vaccinated travellers to Cyprus are linked from the UK Gov site, which still states 'Travellers with proof of two COVID-19 vaccinations are not required to take a PCR test before departure or on arrival. : Cyprus Flight Pass - Vaccinated Passengers Clear as mud ain't it?

Even if all of them cancelled, there's no reason to cancel the sailing itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
