That would be great!  My husband and I are looking at taking a cruise next year, and one of the three options goes to Bermuda.  I'm hoping by then (August 2023) they won't have these extra steps but you never know...

Testing has been dropped starting October 25.  No decision on the fee.

Yay!!!

 

I don't really care about the $40, honestly.  Just the hassle of having to get tested, and possibly more than once.

ARGHHHH. We're going the week before!!!!

We depart Boston for Bermuda on October 23 but arrive in Bermuda on October 26. Originally we were required to test up to four days prior to embarkation from Boston. (4 days PCR, 2 days, Antigen). 

 

Since we don't arrive in Bermuda until after the requirement drops, do we have to test? Windstar, Bermuda Tourism and others II've called cannot answer this question. 

 

Hoping for some clarity in the next few days.

Bermuda's government says you won't need  to test:

The little blurb at the top (which I missed), says it all. One hassle removed. 

 

Thanks
