  1. You only *have* to do it for the first, but I'd do it for both just in case something happens with your first leg.
  2. The passenger, just like it is now for every other trip to medical that isn't an onboard accident.
  3. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?q=texting&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=51
  4. Agreed. The same ones working around protocols now (I honestly don't think it's that many) would do the same with any new policy, too.
  5. True. I'm still waiting for my OBC from my Adventure cruise last July that they said they'd give to offset the Bahamas Health Visa cost.
  6. Right, I'm saying you go test free, but if you do happen to show up with a negative test, you get rewarded for it.
  7. A cruise line's best bet is to incentivize a pre-cruise negative test result somehow. Either via a perk onboard or with some CWC protection that those not presenting a negative test wouldn't get.
  8. I never understood why a chain fast food place on a cruise ship was so popular.
  9. I've seen people order blue cheese stuffed olives in a martini before. But that was only after a gracious tip to get the bartender to stuff the olives.
  10. I haven't seen anything from Norwegian regarding US testing
  11. Yes, yes we are, as protocol changes are very newsworthy items
  12. Why? Vaccination status means nothing these days for who may or may not be infected.
  13. Also intended to save money when people aren't pounding 6-7 free drinks during the happy hour.
  14. I check in on the app to grab a check-in time slot, then do the rest on the laptop.
  15. The media would be all over it even if people had to test every 10 minutes while on board.
  16. Yes, you're right. Norovirus, which is extremely contagious and very easy to swallow a ship. So that makes sense. But for any airborne upper respiratory virus, not as much.
  17. That's what I'm saying. They don't force quarantine for any other illness, so it's time covid is treated that same way.
  18. You don't need to reserve time in Adventure Ocean anymore.
  19. But the CDC doesn't govern UK-based cruise companies. So the CDC decision had no bearing on P&O's decision.
  20. The interesting thing here is if they're not paying for your quarantine anymore, then there should be no more quarantine rooms either. Just have it like any other illness on board.
  21. They may be pre-symptomatic and spread it later, but there's no on the ground evidence that asymptomatic people are spreading it.
