But how does anyone know that it is really yours and not someone else's? They dont. I think that is kind of the point. They want testing gone as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its difficult to understand..technically its longer then 10 days however their wording says itinerarys less then 10 days which yours are technically are. The FAQs have some information on changing ships and back to back.under FAQs for "can i book a back to back cruise at this time?" Sorry cant add the link.

HicksRA Posted August 22, 2022 #59 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I think they saw the 4 and 5 days sailings selling out immediately after the first announcement and saw a way to create an instant surge in seven days cruises. Watch for prices to jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norskenancy Posted August 22, 2022 #65 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Previously everyone had to be tested before cruising and provide negative test. Most people ended up getting covid after the cruise. Now no testing. People have to realize this is a virus and at some point you are going to contract it. No amount of shots and boosters prevent the new flu type. We just have to step out in faith and go for it. We don't sail until October, but are going to Canada so we will have to get a test unless Canada realizes nothing will prevent this new type of virus. Wear 4 layers of masks if you are scared of catching anything, but if you can still smell a fart thru your masks, I believe you can still get sick. So sorry. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only testing of vaccinated cruisers. Unvaccinated travelers can join us for almost all U.S. sailings. Starting with September 5thdepartures, guests who are not vaccinated can sail on almost all cruises from the U.S. (except itineraries that visit Canada or Bermuda).

I don't think they want you bringing the physical test strip with you. Or maybe they do ...... 🤔 From the website "you can show a picture of your negative home test on your phone, or present the actual negative test itself."
