People over 70 will need a Doctors OK to cruise , I heard this is it true ?

That certainly sounds encouraging, thanks for that EBONY....and GIL155, it most certainly wasn't a rumor, at the time (almost a month ago) I located a link to NCL's actual form, (see above) and reference to it in their FAQs.. I just went and looked at NCLs website, and unless i missed it, that reference and question re that process has been removed. I just hope that when the "new" requirements are finalized, there is no such DR. visit to get a form signed. I suspect we're all old enough to make informed judgments about cruising in the current environment...I don't need the gov't or a hall pass...So yes, we wait....good luck to us all....

This is what is posted on Royal Caribbean’s website under Health & Travel Alerts. Most cruise lines are members of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).

We are currently laser-focused on additional safety enhancements for our return to service. To develop our future boarding screening process and updated health protocols, we are collaborating with government health authorities, the Cruise Lines International Association, and our own team of medical experts. These are not yet finalized, but when they are, we will be sure to let you and your Travel Advisor know via email.

We know that our 70+ guests and those with chronic conditions are especially eager to understand what cruising will look like in the future. While subject to change, via the Cruise Lines International Association, we have confirmed that the previous restrictions were lifted in early April after cruise lines suspended service. Please know that every decision we make, and all of the fine-tuning we do, has your well-being in mind. We miss you – and can’t wait to welcome you back onboard.

Supposedly - this rumor is a NOT TRUE as of today/yesterday. We will have to wait for the official cruise line policies.

Third time I've tried to post to this..glitchy this am?

I will be 72 this month , I guess I will have to look for a fake ID

It will be a cold day in hell before we get a doctors excuse to cruise. Been on 24 cruises and if things get nasty, we will buy a r v and cruise the land.

We will have to wait until the cruise lines come out with their official policies once sailings resume.

That said - age is a number.

I have known some 80-year olds to be more energetic than some 50-year olds.

So many variables. I will abide by whatever rules are developed. My cruising will not stop due to a magic age number being attained.

Since I am over 70, I will find out soon enough.

Have you seen the form? It requires more that a scribbled signature...Its unlikely they would check it, unless of course you got sick...then you could explain it all down at city hall....FWIW, i don't think its going to be necessary after the "ban" is lifted...remember, "somebody" says its ok to cruise...and then someone, somewhere gets it on a cruise line somewhere...game over....
