CoffeeBoy Posted August 8, 2022 #202 Share Posted August 8, 2022 1 hour ago, not-enough-cruising said: Royals guidelines say 12 and over need a vaccine to sail. Everyone needs a test 3 days prior to embarkation on trips 6 days or longer Trips 5 days or shorter require no tests for vaccinated individuals. All guidelines at the discretion of destination protocols. seems pretty clear to me They're going to change it to allow unvaccinated adults to sail. The CEO has confirmed it on his Facebook page, but they are taking their time with the rest of the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeMissSeaView Posted August 8, 2022 #203 Share Posted August 8, 2022 What is not clear is if you do a B2B that is a 3 day and a 4 day, do you need to be tested. Both cruises are less then 6, but the B2B total is 6 or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing is clear these days about this total madness in the entire world (not just cruising which is, by the way, the best place to be on), and it is not any cruise line's fault whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I'd prefer a blanket policy like NCL just rolled out, but then again, I'm only concerned with what impacts my upcoming cruise. I don't care about what's happening for anyone else's... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course no one has ever received bad information from Royal Caribbean customer service or an email. The official policy published on the website and confirmed by several services within the industry is “12 and over require vaccination”. This is as of today; tomorrow may be different Edited August 8, 2022 by not-enough-cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted August 9, 2022 #212 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Interesting, the app has changed over the last day and all the stuff related to the Vaccine verification is gone now for my sailing on Sept 4th. Might be a sign of imminent changes coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to the app the health and safety window still says negative test result needed 3 days before sailing. One can hope but I'm not counting on it changing just yet.

FlorenceItaly Posted August 9, 2022 #215 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Disappeared on my App also when previously we were waiting for our vaccination card to be approved. Our sailing is September 22 and has a Canada stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bothered about vaccination status as we are both fully vaxxed, but would welcome some news on testing as we need to sort that soon. We used Randox test at home for Celebrity in July....oops, but it was accepted at Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted August 9, 2022 #218 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I think they disappeared because they're working on updating the protocols. Several people on FB are asking what's going on too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secretlyfi Posted August 9, 2022 #224 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm thinking the cruise line needs to announce the new post-August 14th testing requirements within the next day or so, because those leaving on Monday the 15th need to know if they need to go for testing starting this Friday? Or is that expecting too much advance notice from Royal Caribbean? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
