But how does anyone know that it is really yours and not someone else's? 👆 THIS!! 👆 This is why I think testing will go away entirely in the coming few weeks (if not sooner). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the talk about fake vaccine cards I do not trust folks to do the right thing. Just roll the tip around your forehead, put it in the test kit and get your negative result and go have fun. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean......... it's not like the whole world is immediately thinking this....... and can use copy/paste Edited August 22, 2022 by NateUpNorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I posted just before you we still need the proctored test. Still more time for things to change before we sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a "look the other way" to eliminate the testing requirement without actually eliminating the testing requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbrucruises Posted August 22, 2022 #32 Share Posted August 22, 2022 We have an Alaskan cruise that starts in Seward and we disembark in Vancouver. Are you telling me we will still have to test before we embark in Alaska? That makes no sense since we'll be on the ship for seven nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyCruiserUK Posted August 22, 2022 #39 Share Posted August 22, 2022 32 minutes ago, smokeybandit said: And you can now use at-home tests without proctoring. So here in uk. You order a test. The test has a unique serial number which is linked to the purchase. Take test and upload a pic to the testers website showing negative and serial number. Certificates are emailed though. But it never knows who took the test or how.....so pointless. I guess its for insurance purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me on the Anthem in January 😔. But, on a brighter note…I am no longer stressed about my sailing on the Oasis next month. My cabin buddy goes on a EU cruise and two days after she comes back we leave on the Oasis. I was very worried about her pre-cruise testing for our cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
