Thanks!  There are several directions we could have turned, but this is what we feel is best.  I wonder how the Covid world will be in December when the second grandchild graduates from college?  😕


You are my role model.

Tests required beginning next week. Here is a portion of the email we received from HAL today: 

 

Please carefully review the information below regarding new, temporary testing requirements:

  • Effective with cruises departing on Saturday, August 14, 2021, we will require ALL fully vaccinated guests to produce a negative viral COVID-19 test (medically supervised PCR or antigen test) taken within 72 hours of their embarkation on all Holland America Line sailings.
  • Fully vaccinated guests will be required to provide proof of this negative COVID-19 test, along with proof of full vaccination at least 14 days prior to embarkation, upon arrival in the terminal and can then proceed on board.
  • Please note that testing in the terminal will not be available so it’s critical that you have your negative test results with you at cruise check-in. We will not be able to accommodate guests without proof of a negative test.
  • Please check our TravelWell® health protocols at HollandAmerica.com/TravelWell for further details on testing requirements.

In addition to testing requirements, we have also made adjustments to our onboard mask policy as follows:

  • We strongly encourage all guests to wear face masks when indoors.
  • All guests will be required to wear face masks in elevators and in designated indoor entertainment areas, all retail shops, and in the casino, except when eating or drinking.
  • Guests will be required to wear face masks prior to being seated in all dining areas. You may occasionally be asked to wear a mask in other designated areas where larger number of guests may congregate.
  • As a reminder, masks are required during embarkation and debarkation in the terminal, and masks must also be worn during the debarkation process on board.
  • We recommend guests wash or replace their mask daily and choose a good quality double-layer cloth or medical-grade mask. Please note that bandanas, neck gaiters and masks with exhaust valves will not be accepted as a substitute for a face mask and that visors and face shields are only permitted when used in addition to a mask.

 

Thanks - all covered in another thread.  But good info for those that don’t follow it, definitely.

 

 With the ups and downs going on, I’ll wait for next year. I didn’t have much choice when HAl changed the date for my dog care but now, I’m thinking it was serendipity. As much as I want to go, trying to find a testing site in Galicia, Spain doesn’t excite me one bit. 😔

Thanks to Rich for the Daily, to Roy for the Lists and to everyone who contributes to make these threads a positive place.

@smitty34877such good news that Camilla is home, best wishes for her continued good progress.

@StLouisCruiserssorry to  read of the covid situation, and that you have had to cancel your trip.

Yesterday had my first Pfizer vaccine,  the site a bit sore this morning.  

Some feeble sunshine today, temperature reached 10 C.

Stay  safe, take care everyone.

 

Suddenly on page 4 was unable to react to any posts..........CC gremlins at work!!

It's still working for some of us.  I had a problem on only one post earlier today but it worked the second time I clicked the button.

I had the same thing happen too.

Google Chrome on my Android mobile phone in England UK.

Great that you got your vaccination. @erewhon,  did they schedule your second?  And are they just using Pfizer in NZ?

 

When I phoned to make an appointment, both appointments were made, the second 3 weeks later.

Yes, so far, only the Pfizer vaccine is being used here.
