NCTribeFan Posted June 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2021 From their website... https://www.arubavisitorsinsurance.com/ The insurance is required for all foreign nationals with the exception of visitors who arrive and leave the same day, Crew Members and transit/transfer passengers who don't need to recheck their luggage. So, does this mean it is NOT required for cruise passengers since we "arrive and leave the same day?" Sounds like they're referring to more to people with stopover flights. I don't sail until November, so plenty of time to figure it out. I just hadn't heard about this at all and was wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolaidback Posted June 28, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Looking to book a cruise in Dec. with Aruba being one of the stops. Is there anything we should take into consideration before we book as far as covid requirements go? Not necessarily mask wearing, but more of testing requirements for cruise passenger visitors? We've both been vaccinated, but just trying to pick the best cruise itinerary during all the covid restrictions. Thanks for any replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted June 28, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 28, 2021 This is for COVID. In case you are a longer term visitor and test positive. Cruise ships arriving will have their own protocol. If you plan of leaving the ship, staying overnight and getting sick, get the insurance. Otherwise, check on general travel insurance and your own health plan for coverage while cruising.

Bookbug53 Posted July 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Carnival itself is beginning to require travel insurance. It won't matter much what Aruba does. "Travel Insurance Requirement — Florida and Texas Based Ships Effective with sailings departing July 31, 2021 from Florida, and August 2, 2021 from Texas, guests must also show proof of travel insurance coverage during check-in. This requirement is currently being waived for children under 12 who are ineligible for a vaccine. However, parents are advised that purchasing travel insurance for their children is strongly recommended. (See section below for full details on travel insurance requirements.)"
