I just clarified accepted Covid testing procedures with Azamara. In relation to a medically supervised Antigen Covid test by skype/video call prior to cruise, this method is not accepted by Azamara. A supervisor also confirmed what the customer service agent told me. She stated a proctored video call test is not accepted as it's classed as a self test and the swabbing process hasn't been physically completed by a medical professional. Disappointed with this as sailed with Princess 3 times recently who clearly state on their website proctored video tests are accepted.

Trying to board Regal Princess at Civitavecchia today. Turned up at 10.15am to a packed terminal. Have Arrival Group A on my Medallion which seems pointless today. Everyone seems to have turned up at terminal at same time to board. Guy sitting beside me is Arrival Group G on his medallion but is holding a boarding card of Group 9. Despite arriving at 10.15am we were allocated Group 11. It's like a free for all at Civitavecchia Terminal. People climbing over seats etc pushing into queue. This is my 4th Princess cruise since 2021. Sailed from Southampton and LA previously where boarding was better organised.
