Fredrik Posted August 7, 2021 #28 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Anyone booked on the first sailing 15th of August? Any itinerary changes? I’m doubtful our cruise Aug 22 will be according to the current itinerary… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annika2900 Posted August 7, 2021 #29 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We are booked on the 15th of August, no changes so far. But I am pretty sure they will not go to Haifa, we are also waiting for news ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted August 7, 2021 #30 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The Venice Cruise Terminal has updated its schedule up to October 3rd and very few cruise ships are now listed. Certainly no mention of Eurodam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syesmar Posted August 10, 2021 #31 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The CDC has listed Israel at its highest level, Level 4: https://www.timesofisrael.com/cdc-warns-against-travel-to-israel-amid-surge-in-delta-variant-cases/ https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/covid-4/coronavirus-israel Has anyone heard if the quarantine situation (specifically for those flying into Israel) will affect cruise passengers?

Certainly no mention of Eurodam Interesting to see some MSC cruises listed on here. According to the MSC website all of their cruises to/from Venice are leaving from Monfalcone 90 minutes away. They are doing check in (including health screening and antigen testing) at the Venice Maritime Pier and then bussing passengers to the port of Monfalcone and returning them them the same way at disembarkation. It would be nice if HAL would have some communication with us regarding this. They are still selling tours out of Venice at the end of our cruise.

Number of deaths from Covid are still very low compared to previous peaks. Not sure why the advisory level was raised to red now. Lets hope the cases begin dropping soon. And why do infection rates even matter to the fully vaccinated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinated can still get sick, albeit highly unlikely to be serious. They can get sick by being around unvaccinated sick people ( or on rare occasions a vaccinated sick person). So a vaccinated person probably does not want to hang out in very highly infected areas. Edited August 10, 2021 by KirkNC 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henery Posted August 10, 2021 #36 Share Posted August 10, 2021 But if everyone on the ship is vaccinated and has tested negative prior to boarding, than we are only a risk to the people whose ports we visit only after we contract covid from a port we visited. So in short upon boarding the ship we are of no risk to anyone. Short of Norovirus and the dreaded ships cough, we are a healthy bunch of people. What am I missing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henery Posted August 10, 2021 #37 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A good resource for getting everything you need "documents" for your arrival destinations are the airline websites. Use your flight confirmation numbers to access your flight info. United, Delta, and American have good travel ready sites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...you're probably not really missing anything. We will be a healthy bunch of people when we board. Hopefully we can keep it that way. I guess the post in question was about covid cases in Greece. We're going to Alaska, and I've been looking at their numbers for sure. Assuming it's as they say, that vaccinated people can contract the virus, I don't really want to go to a hot zone and bring it back to my young family members. I'm worried about them, not us. We plan to quarantine ourselves for awhile when we get back home. Just in case. Another thing that concerns me is the "port hopping" aspect of it all. If we contract Covid at the first stop, we could spread it on through the rest of these nice towns. Sadly, we vaccinated people don't get to be as carefree as we'd hoped. We have to be careful Disappointing for sure, but it is what it is. Edit to add I'm in no way implying that Alaska is a hot zone. So far I'm comfortable with what I see.

Although I’d imagine losing Haifa is disappointing, it wasn’t unexpected. I think HAL did a nice job rearranging ports, the itinerary looks really good.
