AryMay Posted December 6, 2022 #26 Share Posted December 6, 2022 For our Panama Canal cruise in January, it appears that our stop in Cartegena, Columbia is the culprit. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare The-Inside-Cabin Posted December 6, 2022 #29 Share Posted December 6, 2022 On 12/5/2022 at 5:50 AM, Daniel A said: If the test needs to be done within 3 days of embarkation, does that mean a test can be done on the 15th for a sailing that embarks on the 18th? Or would the 16th be the earliest that the test can be done? Embarkation is Day 0 So if you embark on Sunday One day before - anytime on Sat Two days - Anytime on Fri Three days - Anytime on Thurs When they specify hours - they usually be you count the hours from the assigned embarkation time - but that is fuzzy. In Practice - once they see the big NEGATIVE - they move on quickly - never see them flyspeck times - or dates for that matter. Verifly is more stringent of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukpylot Posted December 7, 2022 #30 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Our Feb 24 14 day South America cruise is Standard but the other 5 cruises on the Oosterdam bracketing our trip are all in South America all require enhanced so we lucked out there. I was trying to work out why but I see the other trips are 22 days and include Antartica so maybe going to the ice requires a test? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are speculating it is Brazil but I am waiting until a later date to see what really happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTVCRUISER Posted December 7, 2022 #34 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I am thinking maybe no test if you are just doing the January 7th to 14th Mexico part of the cruise ? Not going to the Hawaii part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then back up to the 2nd and 3rd day, and there's your answer. Edited December 7, 2022 by Native Floridian 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they said the test needs to be done at least three days before embarkation day, then it would have been much clearer. When they merely said 3 days before embarkation that left it more open to different interpretations. Whatever, it's all good now. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Floridian 26 Posted December 12, 2022 #41 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Any idea on why the Koningsdam 1/14 for 17 nights is Enhanced and 1/31 for 18 nights is Standard? They appear to have the same ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare foodsvcmgr Posted December 13, 2022 #43 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Has anyone been able to discern how much of this is truly still government regulations in the ports vs HAL creating their own policies? For example, transatlantics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
