  1. Testing protocols will be easier

    Starting with September 5th, for U.S. cruises that don’t visit Canada or Bermuda: 
     

    • Vaccinated guests won’t have to take a pre-cruise test on cruises that are shorter than 10 nights.
    • Unvaccinated guests age 5 and up will need to test within 3 days before boarding, regardless of cruise length.
    • We will begin accepting results from self-administered home tests. See full testing details
    • What types of tests are accepted and where do I submit the results? Can I use a home test kit?
       

      Accepted Tests for U.S. Cruises Departing on or After September 5, 2022; with No Stops in Canada or Bermuda

    • The test you take can be professionally administered by a health professional, such as a doctor or pharmacist, or you can use a home test kit. Home test kits for these sailings are not required to be administered under live video supervision.
    • You will present the negative test result at the time of boarding. You can show it in the form of a printout, an email, or an app screen from the test provider. Or you can show a picture of your negative home test on your phone, or present the actual negative test itself.
    •   If you get a positive test result on your pre-cruise test, please call us at 1-800-256-6649 so we can rework your cruise plans.

  3. Updated Protocols 
    Galveston & Los Angeles 6-Nights or more

    We’ve been diligently working with our destinations and have made great progress towards welcoming all guests onboard our ships. 

    Our relaxed sailing protocols are confirmed for our departures from Galveston, Texas and Los Angeles, California sailing on or after September 5th, 2022, visiting the Western Caribbean and Mexico.

    The intention is to work in phases as we relax our protocols. And, as they change, we are committed to keeping you informed.

    Vaccination Recommended
    We recommend that our guests be fully vaccinated against COVID‐19, if eligible. While vaccination is not required, we kindly ask you disclose your status during check-in to ensure we maintain a highly vaccinated onboard population. 

    For sailings that visit Grand Cayman: Due to local regulations, unvaccinated guests 12 and older can join our sailing however, they’ll need to stay onboard when we arrive in Grand Cayman.

    Testing
    Pre-cruise 
    All guests aged 2 and older must present a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 3 days of our sail date — this adds an extra day for our vaccinated guests to test. Additionally, we’ve removed boarding day, mid-cruise, and departure testing.

    Accepted Tests 
    Any FDA‐approved PCR or antigen test supervised in person or supervised by a telehealth professional meet this requirement. To learn more about our accepted tests, visit our FAQ.

    I don't think this is the case any longer, but previously yes, you could book as unvaccinated and the cruise line is just going to assume you are going to get vaccinated since those were the rules in place and they did make sure you knew when you booked (I presume this but cannot verify since none of my cruises were booked when the vaccine requirement was implemented, all were booked before hand). But now I don't think that's the case since they have done away with exemption requests. They ask you at the time of booking if you are vaccinated, so unless there is something in the booking agreement that says you might not have a spot (someone who just booked can probably verify this) then I would think you've got a spot on board. It's all very confusing though, no longer having exemption requests throws a whole other question in to play. I'm just assuming (and I know what that means) that you've got a spot on board if you book and that the unvaccinated will be allowed on a first come, first serve basis until a threshold is met, likely starting with those people like me who were already booked and had an exemption request pending. It was VERY lucky for your sister though, he definitely would have been denied at boarding if the current protocols were in place.

    I just booked a cruise for 09/11 but never throughout the booking was I ask if Vaxxed. But they do state on their FAQ’s 12 and older need to be vaxxed
