smokeybandit Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Seems kind of late in the game to suddenly be concerned about USA covid counts. Are they just mad the USA hasn't reciprocated on travel freedom from Europe? WAAAYTOOO, Neesa, cruisellama and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 The important note here is EU countries are not obligated to follow EU-wide decisions and can also bring in their own policies (as is currently the case across the 27 EU countries).

Most if not all European counties have the traffic light system in place, your R Rate increases then you are moving down the colours! A country has been placed on green list, 2 weeks later its amber again due to increase in cases, this is nothing against US its just how it is countries looking after there own, What US does is to most people of little concern only those like myself that has cruise booked check to see whats happening across the pond KristiZ, teddy and USCG Teacher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolutebrilliance Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Looks like this perhaps won't be an issue for vaccinated travelers: From the NYT: "If enforced, the new restrictions would only apply to unvaccinated travelers — the European Council already recommends that all visitors who have been fully inoculated with an E.U.-approved vaccine be allowed to travel. That includes the three vaccines available in the United States." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/30/world/eu-us-tourists-restrictions.html?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20210830&instance_id=0&nl=breaking-news&ref=cta®i_id=60496791&segment_id=67619&user_id=e4b7b71302689eb6766109025cba4e41 MelKaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOasis Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 There seems to be a lot of confusion here several articles are stating if individual EU countries decided to adopt the EU's recommendations it would apply to all Americans regardless of vaccination status. Then you have other articles claiming the ban would only impact the unvaccinated. If individual countries enact these recommendations they need to clarify who is in and whose out.

Gary Pheasey Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 It would be handy to know if the US was going to lift the ban on EU citizens entering the US! I'm from Ireland and am booked on the Harmony TA on 31st October and am waiting for the other shoe to drop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK2793 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 From the link below: Monday's guidance from the 27-nation bloc reverses advice from June that lifted restrictions on American travellers ahead of tourism season. The recommendation is nonbinding, meaning individual countries will be allowed to decide if they still wish to allow US visitors with proof of vaccination, negative tests, or quarantine. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58386967 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK2793 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 From link below: “However, this guidance is non-binding, so individual countries in the E.U. bloc can decide impose their own sets of restrictions. Travelers should expect a messy patchwork of different rules and regulations across the continent, much like they encounter a mishmash of non-uniform rules and regulations across the U.S.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2021/08/30/its-official-eu-recommends-travel-ban-for-american-tourists/?sh=42342bee3070 cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best and easiest way for anyone to find out the regulations for countries they are visiting is to read that countries government website.

Ray Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Update on UK travel restrictions...All UK governments have moved their goalposts AGAIN!!!! As of Oct the Traffic light system is GONE and new rules will be in place for each country. there will only a red list! If your country is not on the red list then you will be able to visit with very few measures needed to travel. For entry to England No preflight test is needed if person is vaccinated and only a lateral flow test on day 2. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdf Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 In Denmark we are 5 millions. The last 2 weeks we have had aprox. 350 positives a day. We have no more restrictions. Still I probably have to cancel symphony in november because I can't get into the US IMHO it should be possible if one is vacinated and can show a negative test. I really hope some kind of agreement will be made soon otherwise I have to cancel 2 trips on Symphony and a TA on Wonder and there will be no cruises before may 2022 JLMoran, WAAAYTOOO and barbeyg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you at least are able to do the TA on Wonder. We had intended doing a visit to New York follwed by a cruise in spring of next year but have decided it's not worth the anxiety, so we are pushing it out to 2023 and will just stay in Europe next year.

What is still uncertain is how this latest announcement impacts the land border. That is the piece I care about the most because I usually fly out of Detroit. Either way, I am cruising (unless covid gets in my way) come December. I have refundable flights booked on Delta and Air Canada.
