If Italy will currently allow you to fly into the country without testing or proof of vaccination, why would they require you to test prior to boarding a cruise ship heading back to the U.S.?  This is a Royal requirement, and hopefully it will soon be lifted.  

Is Italy allowing US residents to fly into Italy without testing? I'm flying there in a couple weeks and was told last week that I still needed a covid test. I've been looking online for the last 15 min trying to figure out the most updated info through my airline and it keeps sending me to a site written in Italian. 
 

Edit: Finally found the info. Not sure why I was told I needed a covid test last week because it appears covid testing hasn't been required since the end of June.

Also, in the Royal App in the check in, all the vaccination stuff is gone now too for my sailing out of Barcelona on September 4th.

It’s at the top of the section for Copenhagen. I’m not going to screen shot every section for Copenhagen since it’s so long so you’ll just have to trust it’s there. 😁

As for Denmark / Copenhagen, the Danish health authorities no longer allow general Covid vaccination of minors under 18. Difficult to see how a cruise company sailing out of Denmark could demand a vaccine at least for minors that the local health authorities do not allow:

(google translation)

Therefore, from 1 July 2022 it will no longer be possible for children and young people under the age of 18 to get the 1st jab, and from 1 September 2022 it will no longer be possible to get the 2nd jab.

They didn't change the rules since July 1, so RCI is apparently just ignoring the local rules - RCI can, and does, have some rules stricter than local mandates.
