Not everyone has agreed with that.

Yeah, a lot of people are clueless.  Starting with the CDC.  🤪

Ah, should have been clearer. Appropriate and revenant citations were requested, not just whatever you pulled up in Google scholar. Happy to help you get institutional access if needed.

 I guess the CDC agrees with me, they ended the Covid cruise program today. 😁

It does not mean testing will end as other countries still have that requirement(ex Bermuda)

The fact is, unlike years ago, the ships are the destination. Most of the island's located in the Caribbean economy is based upon cruise tourism. So... I am pretty sure the useless testing requirements of certain islands will quickly go away once the ships decide not to go there.

As many have brought up thus far.... 'Money rules'!  Regardless of whether you are talking about Cruise lines or Countries that HEAVILY depend on Cruise Tourism!

Covid pre-cruise test will probably disappear (though unfortunately not quick enough to help me on 8/5) but vaccination requirements will probably stay a bit longer.  Just my opinion.

[rolloman]

I think the next phase will be no testing required if you are vaccinated or no testing required if you are vaccinated and boosted.

I look for the end of September as this will mark the end of the current set of rules in place.

😔😪  We leave 8/5

If I just want the results emailed to me, are we just creating an emed account for each person tested?

 

I don’t get what the Navica app is for.  Someone mentioned a QR code.

I agree and always print out the results but the Navica app is my back up and it has all of my past results.

If you don't have a laptop/PC you can take the test and get the results in the app.

I was able to finally get into emed this am to do my test.  When I logged in (tried to) using my login info from Apr it told me my email address/password was incorrect so I went to reset password.  It took 15 minutes for them to send me a code.  After that it went smoothly.  DH just tried to login, got the same message and after 40 min of no code, he called.  All the person answering could do was escalate to their IT to reset the password.  No idea why our passwords from April don't still work.  They do on Navica.  So, I just made him a Walgreen's appt for tomorrow afternoon, just in case.  There is no reason for a password reset to take more than a couple of minutes.

 

It's getting harder and harder to get testing done.
