You will also be banned if you have been in close contact with anyone testing positive 14 days before the cruise, according to the updated cruise contracts I have read Another new ban has come into place through the return-to-cruise protocols, where lines are building into their cruise terms and conditions and contracts the right to ban anyone who breaks any of the new guidelines and rules. Virgin Voyages requires guests to be over 18, and P&O Cruises has some ships in their fleet only open to over 18s and so on Second: Lines ban people under 18 (or 21 out of the USA and Canada) travelling without an adult. One thing I haven’t been able to find out is if lines share the information, and if you are then banned by everyone or just that line Pregnant women are also on the ban list. “Guests affected by a disability or medical condition must be self-sufficient or travel with someone who can provide all necessary assistance” For example, at the end of last year Cunard placed a ban on guests who needed additional oxygen, saying “we are not able to accept guests who require supplementary oxygen, medical ventilatory support or dialysis”.

This 134 year old act says to carry passengers between only USA ports, ships have to: (1) be built in the USA, (2) be owned by US companies and subject to US employment and immigration laws, (3) flagged, so registered, in the USA. —————————————– Gary Bembridge’s Tips For Travellers aims to help you make more of your precious travel time and money on land and when cruising the oceans or rivers of the world.

The lines sailing out of the UK are now starting a dialogue on what it means and when a return and in what form is possible As I have covered before, the UK Maritime Minister has indicated they are comfortable with the proposed protocols, which reflect what has been submitted in the USA and also being used in sailings by MSC Cruises, Costa and Mein Schiff in Europe, and Dream and Royal Caribbean out of Singapore. There are some new indications on what the four main cruise groups (Carnival Corporation, Norwegian Group, Royal Caribbean Group and MSC Cruises) are thinking on the vaccine requirement for cruises. Interestingly also, in Royal Caribbean recent financial and media updates, they made much of the crew support for Royal Caribbean’s policy of requiring all crew to be vaccinated. The protocols the lines are currently proposing around the world are the ones being used successful by lines in Europe (MSC Cruises, Costa, Mein Schiff, Hapag Lloyd) and Asia (Dream and Royal Caribbean), which of course do not include vaccines but do have testing, reduced capacity, masks, social distancing, cruise line only excursions to maintain the bubble and so on.

That makes Carnival and their fun ships the biggest cruise line in the world. —————————————– Gary Bembridge’s Tips For Travellers aims to help you make more of your precious travel time and money on land and when cruising the oceans or rivers of the world.
