Celebrity Requires Children 5 - 11 To Be Vaccinated Effective February 1, 2022

As anticipated, others are now joining Disney in requiring 5-11 YO children to be fully vaccinated effective next February 1. Anyone with an early February booking who has kids in that age group will need to try to find a second shot earlier than the recommended 8 week spacing.

No real surprise there I think. 

 

We have a cruise booked with Royal in March and fully expected this.  Got up extra early the other week to play "Vaccine Hunger Games" and got my son his first shot the first day possible.  Unfortunately I'll have to play the "game" again in 6 weeks for his second shot but fingers crossed all will go well 🙂

I was informed that Celebrity's announcement of a February 1 2022 implementation for this policy has been postponed and more details relating to the 5-11 vaccination policy will be provided when available.

In the event that someone would prefer proof of this retraction, I have located an article below for reference.  I heard it directly from my marketing manager from Celebrity Cruises.
