Creator's Key Takeaways

i think on the whole that the protocols presented by both cruise lines are generally as expected there aren't really any surprises

compared to piano princess have provided more detail and information about certain circumstances

i would say this is in part due to the fact that princess have now been operating for quite a while whereas p o will just be embarking on their first trip on the 31st of may

Use the Princess Medallion app or Verifly app for health declarations and test verification

Watch the video to learn more about vaccination requirements onboard both Princess Cruises Australia and P&O Cruises Australia. As both cruise lines gear up for their resumption, with Pacific Explorer starting service on May 31st from Sydney's White Bay and Coral Princess on June 16th from Brisbane's brand new international cruise terminal, we now finally know what will be required. Self-administered RAT, or PCR tests will be acceptable across both cruise lines. As well, masks will be required onboard where physical distancing can't be maintained. Back to back cruising will be allowed, but tests will be required in between voyages with anyone testing positive for the virus not allowed to reboard for the second cruise. Let me know what you think about the protocols in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
