If they set sail we'll be on them. Will the TA cruuse go ahead, given the CDC ruling that 14 days has to elapse between cruises in international waters and allowing US passengers on board? I can see Regal ( and Sky) re-positioning empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ombud Posted August 13, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Yes!! Sailing Sunday 😁😷 vaxed, tested, and all masked up!! Will repeat in December if certain areas within USA don't take this seriously. Its no biggie. Free antigen test with results in 15 minutes - 1 hr, already vaxed, just a little worried about Florida Edited August 13, 2021 by Ombud 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Regal ( and Sky) re-positioning empty. If I read correctly it says the ruling pertains to ships whose home port is outside the US. The Regal home port is Ft. Lauderdale, I think. So maybe we're ok. Or maybe I misunderstood the ruling. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my test at CVS Minute Clinic in Walnut Creek bc it was free-to-me. Would have been $65 at the lab in Martinez.

So, in this case, the Regal's homeport is Southampton. They're trying to work something out with the CDC regarding the transatlantic crossings, i.e. let them sail across with passengers and THEN do the 14 days without passengers, but you should probably keep a close eye on this. Keep in mind that if the conditional sail order is allowed to expire at the end of October then it will be a moot point, but with Delta raging I don't see that happening in just two months. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spookyfudge Posted August 14, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 14, 2021 We will cancel if this protocol is still in effect in Jan 2022. We have a world cruise booked and will cancel that one also! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do rescind it and let the cruise lines handle it in their own way, which will still probably require testing and masks. We sail (after Majestic next month) in February from Rome. I'm just hoping that the EU doesn't decide to close its doors to US residents before then. Edited August 14, 2021 by TinaLee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lx200gps Posted August 14, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 14, 2021 We're booked on the Sky for November 20, final payment is in a few days, and last-ditch cancellation is late October thanks to Princess's current cancellation policy. If the mask and testing regime, scheduled to end 31 October, is still in place by our cancellation date and there's no formal notification it's ending, we'll definitely be cancelling. Testing, masks and the possibility of enforced quarantines are no vacation for us. We'll keep our fingers crossed that our February trip will still happen under rules we can sail with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: No tests are being offered at the pier. Well This was frustrating. I typed this all out and then it evaporated. So I'm doing it all over again. NOT EXACTLY Last Thursday I dashed all over contacting 10 pharmacy's to try to get a rapid covid test. I finally found minute clinic. Then somebody on our rolled call posted the University of Washington will come to wherever the person is, even the pier. There are a number of labs & practices that are stepping in and filling the need in Seattle. 3 possibilities were there. Now gone. Like my post. Anyway sort of the idea that "wherever there is a dollar to be made it will be made." Fast forward to yesterday. When I read that test could come back inconclusive I wanted a backup plan just in case. Within 10 minutes I found 2 facilities within 8-12 miles that would do a rapid PCR test THAT DAY and I could have results before my flight. Of course they were not free like Minute Clinic. The cost is $65 to $250 . The point is there are even more available now. I find it hard to believe that this is only in central Contra Costa County Edited August 14, 2021 by Ombud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalLuvsCrusingToo Posted August 14, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Thanks for the info Ombud. Our cruise is Oct. 23, so obviously we will be going thru this as well. I really have No problem with it either. With Delta variant, us vaxxed folks can catch it too. So the more testing & masking that happens, the safer we will all be. Were used to it, and don't mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HaveDogWillTravel Posted August 14, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Still sailing. I have 5-15 day bookings all from west coast in Oct, Nov, Dec, 2021 then in 2022 January, April, November and December. I would only cancel if they stop requiring vaccination. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
