You will likely need to satisfy this ....

Guests that tested positive for COVID-19 in the 6 to 90 days prior to embarkation should be ready to show evidence of their positive COVID-19 viral test (antigen or PCR) laboratory results at embarkation, in place of any required pre-embarkation tests (if applicable). Guests that do not have laboratory evidence of their positive test will be required to show evidence of a negative test that meets the testing requirements of their voyage.

Exceptions may apply for asymptomatic guests who have tested positive for COVID-19 within 90 days of their embarkation if they are at least 5 days past their COVID-19 infection, are fully recovered with no symptoms and produce documentation of recovery from COVID-19 infection. Guests are required to be on day 6 on their recovery from COVID-19 in order to embark on their cruise.

Documentation of Recovery consists of the following:

• Paper or electronic copies of the positive viral test result from a certified laboratory (dated no more than 90 days ago), or 
• A valid digital COVID-19 Certificate (DCC) or a document issued by a health or government authority showing confirmed previous infection. 

Guests who present these documents will need to go through a secondary screening at the terminal, and boarding will be approved at the medical staff’s discretion.

If you test positive for COVID-19 within 5 days of embarkation, you will be denied boarding. You will be allowed to board if you have completed 5 full days of isolation and have tested negative before boarding.

 

but this does not mean you can board at a later port. To find out if you can, you need to speak to HAL - 1300 987 322 (Aust no.)
