Scenic Eclipse Antartica 2023 - compulsory remote medical form

[sohoda]

Will be sailing to Antartica on the Scenic Eclipse in 2023.  Booking advice states that my  primary care physician must complete an online medical form .  Form available 90 days prior to sailing and the form must be returned no later than 60 days prior to sailing.   Booking advice further states “please arrange for a long consultation with your doctor to complete the online form.”.

 

Can anyone tell me what Scenic is requesting/how extensive the form is?  My spouse and I are seasoned travelers and have traveled to many remote areas.  We have never had to have a physician sign a form for us.  
 

Thank you in advance.

Was on the Eclipse in July. The medical form is online and it says it is supposed to be completed by your doctor. I read that others just filled it out themselves, and that's what we ended up doing. They never questioned it.

"I'm not a Doctor, but I play one on the internet" – good enough, eh?  🤣

Love the responses - made me laugh!  And we can all use a good laugh - thank you!

Why is there no Scenic specific board?

One small ship.  Not enough traffic for its own board.  Maybe when they get more ships in service.

Their second ship is out in April. I think they should have their own board.
