MSC updated their website.

As of 11/16/2022. No more covid tests. No more proof of vaccine shots. This goes to most cruises from a US port

Great news for all. Thanks for posting!

If you are sailing Caribbean, and have port stop at Cartagena, you must test before cruise if not vaccinated.

Hello!

I could be wrong, but I believe these measurements are for cruises in the Caribbean and Bahamas only (https://www.msccruisesusa.com/health-and-safety-measures/caribbean-cruises). For other locations, testing may still be required, considering that it is what appears on the Grand Voyages page (https://www.msccruisesusa.com/health-and-safety-measures/grand-voyages-msc-world-cruise).

On the main health & safety measures page (https://www.msccruisesusa.com/health-and-safety-measures) it states that "Vaccination and pre-cruise testing are recommended, but not required, on most cruises". That is, on some cruises, vaccination or testing will still be required.
I believe this can cause confusion for passengers.

This is for just the Bahamas and the Caribbean.   The Grand Voyages,  ect...... rules are different.

As of today 11/17 on Meraviglia out of Port Canaveral and they wanted to see our vaccine cards. I specifically asked. I had it. I told her it’s on the internet that it’s no longer necessary. They didn’t know about it. Typical MSC shoreside.

No surprise there then

Unfortunately MSC is still requiring tests for the Grand Voyages. I hope they will change this policy. The tests pre cruise are not stopping COVID onboard. We came back infected with COVID from a cruise with MSC despite the requirement of every body presenting a negative test to board. Lots of inconvenience to find the place to get the test and at the end it did not stop infection.
