MsSoCalCruiser Posted August 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Things are changing again…. if you are vaccinated you no longer need testing for sailings of 9 nights or less. Edited August 22, 2022 by MsSoCalCruiser 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blur Posted August 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Lol... Why even bother if it's the following " Accepted Tests Guests can now take advantage of at-home antigen tests (even unsupervised ones!) to satisfy this requirement. Proof of a negative test can be the printed or digital results, a clear photo of your self-test result, or your actual self-test in hand. To learn more about our accepted tests, visit our FAQ." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morecruisesplz Posted August 22, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Take your immunity meds and stay healthy. Within weeks we went from all unvaxed welcome to no testing if less than 9 days. It does not take a medical degree to predict what will happen with covid infections. Keep that deck three open for quarantines 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep that deck three open for quarantines I agree with you. The part of me that thinks it’s a pain to get tested in time is happy but there’s another part of me that’s really worried about what’s going to happen. I tested positive after a cruise last April and I got really sick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So silly! At this point, they're just covering themselves from lawsuits so that they can say "we didn't know they forged the test results!" Whatever. I'll take all the relaxed protocols I can get! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boscobeans Posted August 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Great news for our 7-night December cruise and hopefully it will be revised again by our January 11 night cruise.😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GetToLivin Posted August 22, 2022 #17 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Well, I think one thing to remember is that no one wants to sail sick (...I assume). Out of 9 cruises, I've had one I got a bad cold on mid-cruise (didn't want to get out of bed "bad"), and there's nothing more miserable than shelling out money for a cruise, only to be sick in your room. Here's hoping people are honest with their tests from the get-go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm young(er). I eat healthy. I take plenty of vitamins and workout daily. I've had covid at least twice now (at least once before the vaccine and once after being vaxxed). The worst of it was a fever for a day. If I were to get it on a cruise, I wouldn't go to the med center. I'd take some Nyquil and wait it out. So, for me, I'm not worried. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted August 22, 2022 #19 Share Posted August 22, 2022 We are and have been FULLY vaxed and still will self-test the night before we cruise. No sense NOT TO. Less chance of being quarantined or possibly transmitting to others. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Most folks are so concerned about ruining their vacation, they won't call medical and will go about spreading it.) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawmor Posted August 22, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Question..... Now that you no longer have to have a negative test for less than a 9 day cruise, what about BacktoBack cruisers whose first leg is a 6 day then followed on same ship by an 8 day cruise (total of 14 consecutive days).? Don't need a test for 1st leg. And don't need a test for the 2nd leg. But you are on the ship for 14 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theatre of the bizarre. It is just funny to watch. Whatever they want to say, the result is the correct result. Time to move along. Heck way past time to move along. The science has been saying this for months. JC 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
