Curious how that can be. Didn’t the unsupervised test just started two days ago?

Corrected as I mistakenly typed room instead of reservation number.

No form needed. I just listed the ship, sail date, room number and proof of 100 shares emailed to ShareholderBenefit@rccl.com. Response is quick.

That’s nothing. The belly floppers entering the contest are jumping at possibly over 130 feet above sea level😂.

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/will-i-have-to-take-a-test-before-i-cruise Fully vaccinated guests 5 years of age and older must bring a negative test result for a COVID-19 antigen or PCR test taken within the 3 days before boarding day on sailings that are 10 nights or longer only. Testing is not required for fully vaccinated guests on shorter itineraries. I don’t think it’s different than other US ports because the only exceptions for US ports are those sailings to Canada or Bermuda. It clearly states you “must bring a negative test.”

Accepted Tests for U.S. Cruises Departing on or After September 5, 2022; with No Stops in Canada or Bermuda The test you take can be professionally administered by a health professional, such as a doctor or pharmacist, or you can use a home test kit. Home test kits for these sailings are not required to be administered under live video supervision. You will present the negative test result at the time of boarding. You can show it in the form of a printout, an email, or an app screen from the test provider. Or you can show a picture of your negative home test on your phone, or present the actual negative test itself. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-tests-are-accepted-where-to-submit-the-results No, you do not need a supervised test.

Are you sure that’s Bahamas? I see the requirement for Bermuda. Can you share the link?

Where did you read that? I believe that’s for sailing up to September 4th. September 5th and on does not for US sailings (except Canada/Bermuda).

That’s great! I wonder how many vaccinated cruisers will test, for the good of those sailing with them?

I think it’s probably more to make some vaccinated feel safer on the ship.

According to the Bahamas chat agents, the policy was dropped and unvaccinated are allowed to sail. Their website states unvaccinated can travel and they need to update their website on the cruise passenger portion. But maybe their agents are like Royal’s agent? But wouldn’t it seem odd to allow unvaccinated unless it’s by ship?

That’s a funny statement as the person you’re quoting says they’re treating 6 cases and they’re not devastated. Test if they want, but do you really think that there are no positive COVID people traveling there?

When do you sail? Just curious how far out they send the emails.

It’s also unbelievable that in my area they announce they’re in need of blood donations but will reject anyone not vaccinated from donating, vital as it may be.

The people that does the initial checking of negative test didn’t know the difference between an antigen test and PCR test. They were just looking for date and negative result. So just have her take the emed test and hope that suffices should her PCR test not come back in time. FLL did antigen test prior to boarding, but LA did PCR test. She should test 1 day before (today) boarding as I think the terms state testing on day of boarding is not allowed, probably because Royal is testing on that day.

Did you wear a mask to, from and while in Florida?

What if they were traveling with unvaccinated kids and needed the PCR tests? You don’t know their situation.

With multiple ships docked at the same time, how and when do you get to choose the bed spot? Is it when you arrive on the island and first come, first served? We were able to select it on the ship when it was just one ship docked years ago.

Yes. If you checked the box for refundable fare (which varies greatly), you don’t lose that money. If that’s what you’re asking. But as noted above, all funds are refunded.

I believe 11 and under can sail unvaccinated, but need a PCR test. 12 and over needs vaccination or exemption.

Very misleading saying 4th or 5th is a leading cause of death. I believe the CDC published there were around 500 (or some very low number) kids that died from COVID from Mar 2020-Mar 2022. Why vaccinate the kids when the odds are pretty much nil, but the long term affects are unknown? Did you know the CDC recommended and stated the vaccines are safe for pregnant women based on testing on mice?

I hope you’re not thinking that the vaccinated can’t catch or pass on the virus.

🙄 (Not what I meant, but they are testing the unvaccinated ages 2 and up prior to returning depending on length of sailing).

I hope you’re right about the cruising. I’m glad even for now it’s just the requirement dropped for flying into the US.
