Editorial Summary

The creators share practical advice based on their experience of completing nine cruises following the COVID-19 pandemic. They emphasize the necessity of comprehensive insurance that includes medical and COVID-19 coverage. Documentation is a major theme, with the creators advising travelers to carry printed hard copies of vaccination certificates, insurance, and test results to avoid issues with poor connectivity at ports. Regarding onboard life, they suggest that social distancing and mask requirements should not deter travelers, as many activities remain similar to pre-pandemic times. Packing recommendations include disposable masks, hand sanitizer, and antibacterial wipes. The creators also note that while check-in processes may take longer due to testing, reduced passenger capacity can lead to a more personalized experience and better availability of amenities. They suggest that now is a good time to book due to competitive pricing, though they advise avoiding inaugural cruises to allow crew members time to adjust. Finally, they stress the importance of remaining flexible with itineraries and being prepared for potential changes in port stops or schedules.
