AT PORT TESTING REQUIREMENTS UPDATED JULY 13

Fully vaccinated Guests on sailings departing European ports on or after July 30, 2022, must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result (paid for by the Guest) taken no more than 1-2 days before setting sail to be exempt from embarkation testing at the terminal. Completing pre-trip testing prior to embarkation day enhances the efficiency of boarding and confirms that you are negative for COVID-19 prior to traveling to the terminal. Pre-trip test results must be uploaded into the Sail Screen app available on the Project Screen by Prenetics website by midnight prior to embarkation day.

Antigen tests must be completed using a professionally proctored in-person or telehealth service and come with digital results that can be uploaded to the Sail Screen app. A nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or PCR test is also acceptable. Guests can purchase COVID-19 tests through our third-party vendor, Project Screen by Prenetics for $32 USD (or £30 GBP). Guests may also obtain a test from any independent testing supplier or pharmacy.

Fully vaccinated Guests who do not upload pre-trip test results to the Project Screen by Prenetics website by midnight prior to embarkation day will be tested at the terminal before boarding and will be charged for the cost of the test. The cost of embarkation tests for fully vaccinated Guests will be $74 USD (£60 GBP or 550kr DKK) for the initial antigen test, and, if needed, $125 USD (£105 GBP or 927kr DKK) for a confirmatory PCR test, charged at the time of service.

Guests can also use the Sail Screen by Prenetics website to purchase and schedule a pre-trip test to be performed at a testing location set up near the cruise terminal, one to 3 days before their sail date. Results will be available 24 to 48 hours from the time the sample is received by Prenetics and will be sent to the email address provided during registration on the Prenetics website.

So how is everyone's planning going?

Ive booked my trains to and from Dover.

I fly from Ireland to Heathrow so I will get the Tube from Heathrow and a direct train from St Pancreas to Dover on Saturday 3 .

On Sunday 11 September I have booked a train around 10am back to London. I booked direct with the train website and paid £51 for the return journey. I selected to get the tickets at the station, so on the day I just need to use my bank card in the self service machines.

I have also booked a Travelodge near Kings Cross for a few days after the cruise.

Now that pre and post cruise is sorted the next thing on my list is to look at the ports. Im doing all the ports DIY I have not booked any DCL excursions.

Some of the ports are just small villages and one of the ports is a large city, so I need to plan out what to see and do in each place.

[Bad Pink Tink]

39 Days To Go

I have now made my plans for my port days.

There are 4 ports on this cruise.

2 of the ports are small villages , 1 port is a town and 1 port is a city.

Most of the be back on the ship times are between 4pm and 5pm with just one at 8pm.

For each of the 4 ports I have decided to stay on the ship until lunch time, get some food and then have between 3 and 4 hours onshore.

Some mornings I am getting up early, like at 5am and going on deck to watch the sail into port.

Most mornings I will eat breakfast in the MDR but I have planned to get room service breakfast on one morning.

For the 2 at sea days I have nothing really planned, it will depend on the onboard activities.
