marieps Posted June 4, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) It was recently reported the G7 next week will include a discussion between WH and Bojo on reopening US-UK travel. (meaning, no 10 quarantine for the vaxed.) I'm on Sillie's TA November 1st, so I hope they get it together. Edited June 4, 2021 by marieps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted June 4, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) The notification posted today is aimed at the U.K. sailings this summer, for U.K. residents. I don’t think Celebrity are looking any further forward with regards to later sailings judging by the information- NHS app!

American_in_York Posted June 5, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Sorry I'm a bit confused by this update. Does this mean Celebrity will also pay for my 15 year olds PCR test as well or just for those vaccinated passengers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think you ought to contact CelebrityCruises or your TA, as you will only get speculation here. But I read it as Celebrity will pay for PCR tests.

8611202 Posted June 5, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2021 One potential issue that Celebrity are still not able to answer is, what happen if the PCR test result is inconclusive? All reputable PCR test companies in UK such as Boots, state that 1 in 100 tests can be an inconclusive result. If a test is positive, then reputable travel insurers will reimburse for curtailment of the holiday, however, if it is inconclusive, they will not, therefore the traveller will lose both their holiday and money. As test results take up to 48 hours to come through for PCR holiday travel, then there will not be enough time to retake a test even if the traveller has the first test at the maximum 72 hours before departure. Unless Celebrity is going to arrange PCR testing facility at Southampton with immediate results? I have spent a lot of time researching the inconclusive PCR test issue as no UK travel insurers or major holiday company will cover this eventuality. My MP has written to the government minister responsible but has had no response and is tabling a question in the House of Commons next week. If anyone has any further information, I would be most grateful to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8611202 Posted June 5, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I have booked the 17 July voyage, first time on Celebrity, so want to be excited, but am very worried about losing my money should I be the unlucky one to receive an inconclusive result.

The way I read it is that under 18’s would have an antigen test at the terminal instead of a PCR, at Celebrity’s expense. Hopefully we will get more info from Celebrity soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much easier than trying to source a test within the time window , in your local area, at a time that suits!! It is annoying to be thinking about this at a time I should be looking forward to the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
