mbddisney Posted August 19, 2022 #126 Share Posted August 19, 2022 https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/healthy-at-sea/updated-us-travel-requirements This is from the celebrity us site on the section when sailing from us ports. Only thing is on the app it is still showing when I check on my check in status that I need to test. Thinking that needs to be updated. I Hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FB'd Celebrity Captains Club and received this reply regarding our 24th Beyond ex Barca: Hi xxxxx, for sailings out of Barcelona that do not have a port of call in Greece, fully vaccinated guests will be required to do a test within 1 day prior to sailing. This does not have to be supervised and we will accept NHS Lateral Flow home tests. You can bring the test with you and we will dispose at the port or you can bring in a photo. Please read the information on this website link: https://www.celebritycruises.com/gb/healthy-at-sea/barcelona-spain-travel-requirements/updated Thanks, Su You said your cruise is on the 24th - Aug or Sept? We 're on Beyond 15th Sept and your response from Celebrity if for Sept would apply to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia100 Posted August 19, 2022 #128 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Celebrity doesn’t know what they are doing. other cruise lines have eliminated the pre cruise testing. I’m stuck with my Nov 5 cruise as paid in full but not my Feb 18 cruise.if by Nov still doing the test I’ll switch to Princess or Regent in Feb. I’m Elite but done with all this back and forth baloney. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have a particularly rough COVID fall/winter, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaNicole Posted August 19, 2022 #130 Share Posted August 19, 2022 My Celebrity App "check in" for my Sept 24 cruise out of LA is showing I only need to be vaccinated. No mention of testing. Am I missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbddisney Posted August 19, 2022 #132 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I am on the Sept 24 out of fort Lauderdale and my app with check in says I still have to test but the web site says differently and the web check in is also showing testing required if anyone gets clarification that would be great as always it is confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted August 19, 2022 #136 Share Posted August 19, 2022 So, to recap, cruises out of Florida of longer than six nights, still need to test up to three days before? No more recent changes than the August 8th one? I read some mention of a meeting today…might there be a new protocol announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted August 19, 2022 #137 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Celebrity has upped Royal's testing to 8 days or less, which works for me on the beyond in December. I think it's a good start. This is for vaccinated passengers. If you're unvaccinated , you still have to est 3 days before. Any test will do, even if it's not proctored, but not an antibody test.

The Canadian and UK sites have had the Sept 5 changes for at least 2 days now. They've been demonstrating their IT ineptness for quite some time now. They're really good at it (the ineptness, that is) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj59 Posted August 19, 2022 #139 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Things are constantly changing, but the general direction is towards normalcy. The cruise lines are very slow to change, and with local areas having their own complicated and changing rules, it makes it difficult for them to update CS, their websites, and the app. Fortunately simple competitive pressure got them to push the testing beyond 7 days, after HAL and Princess did the same. It was the same long, wait-and-see process that was involved in dropping masking, and allowing passengers to touch serving spoons (gasp!), so some people will freak out, some will want them to move faster, but we're moving in the right direction finally. They've also had the CDC to shift responsibility to for some time, so now they have to make and live with their own rules. Now what I really want to see is the smiling faces of all crew and to make their lives easier--it was nice to see some on Solstice a few weeks ago unmasked on the pool deck.

Have we seen any confirmation of the change to 8 nights or less? The US website still says 5 nights or less don't require testing for vaccinated passengers leaving from the US (with a couple exceptions obviously). It also still says the test must be supervised for US itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US and Europe with some exceptions. Sorry can’t do a copy. For all the 7 night Solstice cruises out of LA, you will still need to get tested within 3 days of departure.

Not true for those from UK and Canada. The Celebrity websites for those countries indicate testing is not required for cruises out of LA 8 nights or less.

I wouldn’t be so sure, especially with how disorganized Celebrity is with these requirements right now. The fact is the requirements have nothing to do with where you’re coming from or your country of residence. It’s about about where you embark from and the ports your cruise will call at. The regulations should be the same for everyone regardless of your country of origin. Would be nice if Celebrity got this aligned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
