Virgin Drops Pre Cruise Testing....

For those that don't want to find it buried on the VV site.

 

What type of COVID testing do you accept?

While negative COVID tests are no longer required for the majority of our Sailors, we may require tests for a number of reasons, including unvaccinated Sailors and recovery cases within 90 days.

Virgin Voyages accepts the following tests that have been supervised/administered by a health professional - doctor, nurse, clinician, pharmacy technician, or live telehealth professional - within 24 hours of the voyage:
PCR: A polymerase chain reaction molecular test, commonly called a “PCR test” or “NAAT test”
Antigen: An antigen test, also called a rapid antigen test or a lateral flow test

Carnival just updated their policy and re-affirmed that all cruise passengers will be required to test before entering the Bahamas (vaxxed or unvaxxed) due to the local rules.  So... either Virgin is right or Carnival is right... not sure how both can be following the correct rules. 

the Bahamas website states vaccinated people don’t need to test to enter. Only unvaccinated need to provide proof of test.
