Just did a week on her and it was fine. I also have to work while on vacation and I had no issues.

Thanks for this! I'm assuming you disembarked on a Saturday?? Now that everyone has to be tested 24 hours before arriving in the States this adds another dimension....

Yes, on Saturday.  They can provide additional testing on board but that may not be valid as they are not an accredited lab from what I understand. 

At the moment only bubble tours are permitted and some stops require that you have a PCR test less than 3 days.  These regulations can change at any time.  We just enjoyed staying on board as the bubble tours do not appeal to us being that we have visited some of these islands before however many on board took full advantage and enjoyed them.  Beach time was permitted on some stops and we especially enjoyed the day at Canouan and Mayreau

All staff wore masks.  Guests were encouraged to wear masks but not enforced.  Satinitisers everywhere.  All excursions were bubble ones.  A couple of bubble beach locations for yacht guests.  Daily temp check recorded.  Tested prior to boarding, retest 2 days before return to port.  You will have an amazing time.  We have rebooked for November! 

Just returned from 8 night cruise.  We were tested onboard on Thursday and had our results for disembarkation.  We did not have to show the results as assume that the authorities receive the results directly from Seadream.  

 Just got back from 8 night cruise.  No updates to cabins and certain areas looking tired.  Crew and cuisine excellent!  Big minus is the very poor internet service and if you do get it you cannot switch devices.  While on vacation I still need to work as I have my own company so hoping this will be one on the list for refit time! 

Protocols have changed for entry to Barbados for fully vaccinated travelers.  No quarantine and no further testing on arrival.  They may do random rapid test checks at airport.  You still need a negative PCR test to fly to Barbados www.barbadostravelprotocols.com 

We live in Barbados and just booked SD1 for 26 November. Had our first vaccine late February and scheduled second dose in May.  We had booked for last November but they suspended all cruises after the first one.  Fingers crossed for this November. 

We are booked on 28 November sailing....
