Booked over a year ago. Just a few weeks left! 

We have just received new info from Royal Carribbean regarding the health requirements for our trip. Everyone from the age of 12 and upwards needs to be fully vaccinated and we need to show a negative Covid test result not older than 2 days before embarkation. 

So I was about to book this cruise but when I saw the above post we have probably decided against it.  It does say "it can be a test you administer to yourself at home without supervision." How will they even know you took it within the 2 days?

For Transatlantic and Transpacific Cruises
All guests age 2 and older must bring a negative test result for a COVID-19 test taken no more than 2 days prior to sailing.
Required testing can be completed using any type of PCR or antigen COVID-19 test. It can be professionally proctored at your doctor or drugstore, or it can be a test you administer to yourself at home without supervision.
Guests under age 2 do not have any testing requirements.

Just booked this trip while out on Radiance this last week. DW has always wanted to do a TA. I had seen the prices on this and it was similar to one way airfare. We will  cruise over to Spain then fly up to Scotland for a week to do some family history site seeing. Looking forward to being back on Oasis class after sailing on the Oasis back in 2015. 
 
We will be traveling also with my Mom and her sister so a nice family getaway. Look forward to meeting folks onboard.
