pre-cruise Covid test requirement question? - Page 2

How dud you like the Danube cruise with Viking? Did you like port tours?

Was the cruise filled with passengers?

We took Caribbean cruise in February and instead of 900 passengers there were 310. We hardly encountered anyone in our halls.

Our cruise is over...we ended up doing facetime covid tests from our hotel rooms in Paris and we all passed. We had a wonderful cruise and no one got sick. I know that all of the covid prestest requirements are over but I wanted to update all of you who were kind enough to respond.

Those who showed up at the dock to board and had not pre-tested ( not in our group but other passengers) were sent into town (Dover, England) to get a test. Interestingly, it was a vaccination required cruise and only about half full. I guess the cruise line (Carnival) had to abide by distance between tables requirements. Made it quite nice.

A friend of mine was on a two-week trip to Paris last month. Everyone on the trip got Covid. The unlucky luck of the draw.

It is my hunch that many on group trips are contracting covid and either don't know it or don't report it. The symptoms are so mild for most people now, I can see how the infection can be ignored or denied.

I've written about our adventure with covid. I tracked down a few fellow travelers after our issues. One lady told me that she and her sister self tested and had started Plaxovid. The tour director told us that on every trip he has done (since resuming travel) someone has tested positive including him.
