Passport and antibody test will be required before boarding... my prediction
The cruise lines certainly have had enough time to figure out how to handle various problems that will arise in the restart.
I believe they will sit out a few ships until they feel they can fill them. Also cut some deals with foreign port officials and airlines.
They have billions of dollars to push their agenda. -Tom
and then from there it will push these tests out to other areas
This, ocean liners of the late 19th and early 20th century did health inspections for a reason.
We went on a southern Caribbean cruise in February. (Norwegian) We received the whole long document about what they were doing to mitigate against the virus. We were told that there would be temperature screening. When we went on board they bout us into the embarkation are several hundred at time, we filled out a screening questionnaire, but as far as I could tell, no temp screening. We have 4 cruise deposits for future trips. We plan on using them, but they have to beef up their screening procedures.
You ALWAYS needed a Passport.
I will NEVER go on another one, but I had reached that conclusion back in Oct. of 2019 after I took one and my sister and I caught the flu.
