Coming to America?

Also, does Royal offer pre-cruise testing?

All ships sailing where it is not required by local authority rates.  The press release says it WILL remain in place in US, Canada, Bermuda, and Greece.

 

So, pretty much Europe😉

Yeah…and lots of people go on Europe cruises in the summer and fall.

Flying over Aug 7

 

Hopefully. 

 

Flying in two days early, and staying one day post cruise. Plus Business Class, so I have some cushion, and a comfy place to waste time waiting in Airport

We come a week later. It would obviously be much less stressful to drop the test. I’m happy we don’t have to test to fly home, regardless.

Copenhagen has/had a test site at airport. $30 or so. Guess I'll deal with it in a month

 

Will probably get the eMed test as a backup if Royal doesn't notify us otherwise

Nowegian used to be really bad about stranding folks. Not sure they even exist anymore.

They still exist but only for flights in Europe.   No flights in or out of the US.

Just to clarify, in case someone a year from now searches and finds this post, I'm pretty sure this is referring to Norwegian Air Shuttle.    Not Norwegian cruise line  🙃

Have had good luck dealing directly with KLM in the past for one way TA legs. 

We didn’t have good luck with KLM, they cancelled our flight in May.
