Happy weekend! It has been a busy week of Royal Caribbean news and events, and we have a look back at everything that happened this week.
Royal Caribbean changed its policy regarding how soon before a cruise you have to get a negative Covid-19 test result.
As a result of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) change in requirements, Royal Caribbean posted new rules about when vaccinated and unvaccinated passengers need to get their pre-cruise tests done.
Vaccinated guests can get either a PCR or antigen test, and must get the test done no more than 2 days prior to sailing (it had previously been 3 days).
Unvaccinated kids must get a PCR test done no more than 3 days before the cruise (antigen tests are no longer allowed for kids).
Here is my recommendation on the best approach to getting your pre-cruise test.
