Could someone please clarify something for me regarding the definition of fully vaccinated and Greece? I called Princess several times before booking our cruise and got different answers from different reps (all very nice but seemed as confused as a lot of us). Our cruise disembarks in Athens and we'll visit a few Greek ports.
A few in our group have the double dose of Pfizer and one booster. However, the booster was at the end of 2021. Cruise is May 2023. Is the 270 days (9 months) only applicable from the 2nd of the two shot series, hence not needing an exemption (since they have 1 booster), or from the booster, making an exemption needed?
One rep said exemptions aren't needed because only 1 booster is available in USA at this time, so the timing of the booster doesn't apply, just so you have a booster. Another rep thought it probably includes the lapse of time since the booster so an exemption would be needed. Another rep incorrectly told me medical exemptions were needed for Greece!!--we almost didn't book!. The 4th rep confirmed medical exemptions are not needed, just a Princess exemption, which they've been giving out without any problems. Finally, I felt comfortable enough to book but when I called back to see who all would need exemptions, I could tell that rep wasn't 100% sure either, so I got one for all of us even though most might not need it.
I know a lot can change by then, but the exemption letters are quite intense (a lot of testing possible throughout the cruise, might only be able to take certain Princess excursions, etc).
