If I am actually allowed to go on holiday, the UK need a pcr test on or before day 2 of my return. If I am flying back on disembarkation day how would I do this? Will ships offer this service?
Royal has said for Adventure/Vision sailings they’d be testing to provide the requirements for re-entry to the US.. but that’s an antigen test I believe. I’m not sure what’s going to be done on Anthem for this summer but I’d assume they’ll provide the test required to re-enter the UK. Outside of that, no one knows as those protocols haven’t been announced.

If the volunteers have to show proof of being fully vaccinated what’s the point of doing these simulations? Why not just skip to real cruises. They are pretty much making you go this route anyways.
It's the CDC, has anything they've said regarding cruising made sense?

This is what I don’t understand, what is the difference between a ship sailing with vaccinated guests now and in the future? The risk is exactly the same. Following that logic, they are saying these restrictions will be in place forever. I never thought anyone would out do our uk government scientists in stupidity!
The only reason I can come up with, is that the CDC is providing a way for revenue sailings to begin sooner than those that have to go through the test/simulated sailings process. (I know, why would it matter if cruises already aren't resuming until July at this point, since the cruise lines will move heaven and earth to get those test/simulated sailings done by the beginning of July?) The more I read, the more I'm convinced the CDC is going to do everything it possibly can to destroy the cruise lines.
At this point, unless they rescind the CSO, or clarify that restrictions do not apply to vaccinated cruises, nothing else they say matters as far as I'm concerned.

I'm thinking the simulated is the virtual ones in the line up that are run when all pieces are in place for relations to land based stuff such as quarantine facilities, testing sights, transport to home, checked in, etc.
Pretty sure the "restricted" is the test cruises themselves the ones that actually go out with 10% + of capacity for minimum over night, with cdc observing etc.
Revenue cruises all along have been called that, not restricted. I may be wrong but that's the gist I'm getting from this.
At this point, and with the CDC's track record, unless they specifically say otherwise, I have to assume the restrictions are for all revenue sailings, regardless of test sailings or vaccinated ones.

So, if the same "restricted passenger voyages" rules apply to both the 95%/98% vaccinated sailings and regular (for non-vaccinated persons) sailings, why have a difference? I'm confused about that. To me, if the overwhelming majority of a ship is vaccinated, why would I have to wear masks/social distance, etc. Wouldn't the benefit of a "vaccinated" cruise be not to have to do any of the things the cruises with un-vaccinated persons?

This is surprising news!
According to this story, Carnival will bring ships in to Galveston on Sunday. Their intent is to crew up and get ready to go.
Per Marine Traffic.. Vista will be one of them.

So yes to all the above but the biggest frustration is pricing for single occupancy cabins. I get the financial end of the double occupancy policy, but I have seen so many times where the single occupancy total price (not including taxes) for the same cabin is more than double, the double occupancy total price (not including taxes). Soo frustrating to see a good per person price, do the mental math to what double should be and then get deflated with sticker shock with the actual price.
