cman2020 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 We are on the November 21 st group cruise on Harmony, (next week) and was browsing the app a little while ago, and just noticed this in the notes of the excursion! I had booked it for my wife and 2 children under 12, long ago! I would just switch to a different excursion, because we do want to get off the boat and not leave the kids on the boat, but with it being so close to sailing almost all are sold out! I have not been notified at all by RC. Is this saying they are not allowing anyone unvaccinated or that they need to be tested 48 hours prior? the wording is a little conflicting!

SpeedNoodles Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 It says both. I'm not sure where you stand on this. Unless the excursion was less 48 hours after the kids got the covid test at the pier, I'd imagine you're SOL on this one for them to join you.

They are not allowing unvaccinated persons. May be best to cancel and have a ship day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floski Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Covid test aside, it says that everyone must be of legal drinking age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So confusing, this is like day 5 of cruise, so way past the 48 hours. As I said I would gladly change to a diff excursion, but almost all are sold out. Do you know even if it shows sold out, does royal or the ship hold a few spots back to be reserved on the boat etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to consume alcohol, not to actually go on the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We def want to go on shore. We did our part and booked an excursion as required, that included children etc. now it’s obviously changed, but just for the excursion it seems. I would gladly switch. To something else, But like I said since it’s next week, and this just changed, all or almost all others are sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherG27 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Unfortunately I am also reading that unvaccinated guests cannot go. I would call RC and see if they can help get you a refund and switch to a different excursion. Maybe just a beach excursion because the indoors part seems to be the issue.

That's probably your best bet for changing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabecruiseexpert Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I read that as the local law now says either vaccinated or negative test but this specific tour operator is complying with the local law by requiring all to be vaccinated (and not giving an option for negative test). Hopefully you can find something on board like @Atlantix2000mentions USCG Teacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
