I've got a September 3rd sail and hoping no test required, but I doubt it.

I doubt that also but at least we can cruise now.  We have a Royal cruise in December that goes to the Bahamas only and we have to pay in full by Sunday.....so we've been waiting to see what Royal does. 

If they don't lift the shot requirement with all the other islands lifting them, then we will know its a Royal decision and no longer a Caribbean thing.

And their testing requirements!

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.

  If you get a positive test result on your pre-cruise test, please call us at 1-800-256-6649 so we can rework your cruise plans.

All Guests, All Aboard

Updated August 22, 2022 | Effective September 5, 2022

 

We’re making it easier for more guests to sail with Royal Caribbean.

 

Unvaccinated travelers can join us for almost all U.S. sailings.

Starting with September 5^th departures, guests who are not vaccinated can sail on almost all cruises from the U.S. (except itineraries that visit Canada or Bermuda). More details.
 

Testing protocols will be easier

Starting with September 5^th, for U.S. cruises that don’t visit Canada or Bermuda:
 

• Vaccinated guests won’t have to take a pre-cruise test on cruises that are shorter than 10 nights.
• Unvaccinated guests age 5 and up will need to test within 3 days before boarding, regardless of cruise length.
• We will begin accepting results from self-administered home tests. See full testing details

Requirements in other regions

Starting September 5th, guests who are not vaccinated can also sail on European cruises. Currently published testing and vaccination requirements remain in place for cruises from Australia and Singapore; cruises that depart from or visit Canada or Bermuda; and transatlantic sailings, until further notice.

To see current protocols by port of departure, visit our Getting Ready to Cruise page.
