They are, starting with today's cruise. I am curious to how it will all work out. My greatest fear is not that we will come up with a false positive at the port, but just the logistic of testing everyone and how long that process will take at the port. These are only short cruises so curious to see what time people are actually able to board. Read that you self test, and either wait in your car in the parking garage or in a tent until the results come in. We rented a car and are parking at the port. I think I would prefer to be sitting in my car and wait than in a tent.
We sail September 27th and I am hoping the next few cruises they work out all the kinks.
Anyone sailing today and the next couple cruises please let us know how the whole process went. Thank you and good luck.
I'm hopeful that the crew here can do it as quickly as they've been doing it in the UK. From the accounts that I've read, testing and waiting usually added 30-60 minutes to boarding time, which isn't too bad.
What's crazy to me is that they have everyone sitting in the same tent before getting results. That's a good way to *spread* the virus if some guests are positive.
