Covid entry restrictions still in colombia?

[v3cruiser]

Im just inquiring. It looks like those unvaccinated or those who can complete their vaccination before embarking on a cruise are still required to get tested. Has this been the experience of anyone? Just curios.

Not from personal experience, but based on looking at the requirements posted by two cruise lines, NCL and Holland America, it appears that you have to either have proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test, not both.

Have you looked at what your cruise line says?

yes i have. cruise line info is dated oct 17 2022. I didnt know if anything changed but anything i can find from colombia states what you just said.

I'm on Caribbean Princess leaving January 7 for partial Panama Canal cruise.  Current requirement for Colombia is:

"Guests ages 19 and above who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 do not require pre-cruise COVID-19 testing for this voyage.  Due to Colombian requirements, guests ages 19 and above who have not been

fully vaccinated for COVID-19 must produce the results of a negative COVID-19 test at cruise check-in. This may be a PCR test taken within 72 hours of embarkation or a medically observed Antigen test taken within 48 hours of embarkation. Self-tests that are not medically observed are not accepted. Unvaccinated guests ages 18 and younger are not required to test."

That is what I read on Celebrities website just a couple days ago.

We are on the Msc Divina right now in Cartagena and no one has ever checked our COVID cards. Not at registration or at port.

[v3cruiser]

That is good to know. We are traveling with ncl. It appears the cruise line needs the info at the time of embarkation so that they meet colombias requirements if they were to check passenger records before allowing ship to disembark in port. whether or not that happens is anyones guess. 

 

There were a few people being denied boarding in the past but i cannot remember the cruise line nor the port of call.

Does it literally have to be “within 72 hours”? Sailing at 330p on Sunday, does test have to be after 330p on Thursday?

Leaving this Sunday so don’t want any issues for our unvaccinated friends.

I have  yet to confirm but Norwegian has updated their covid requirements by country and effective today, Columbia has been removed from the list and no longer requires it. Can anyone confirm this?
