I see many on here saying they were on the 10/10 Cruise... How did the Travel Authorization process go with Bermuda, how did things go at the Cruise Terminal, are you definitely heading to Bermuda?

I've got my Rapid PCR test scheduled for the Thursday before I set sail on 10/31... So I'll have the test results between 30 minutes and 2 hours, so that will satisfy Bermuda, NCL, and Air Canada (flying from Toronto to LGA).

Ahh, I guess that's this part of the email from NCL>>>

"In addition, every guest will have a PCR swab taken that will be sent to a lab separately and results processed in the following day as part of the Bermuda pre-arrival requirements."

I did send an email off to Bermuda just now, asking about the whole "TA" thing, if it's absolutely needed prior to boarding on the 31st, if I get the one test within 72 hours prior to cover my Airline and NCL... I don't see the issue getting the "TA" from Bermuda while heading towards them.

Hey, new guy here... but not my first Cruise, this will be number 6 for me, my first on Royal, and the rest on NCL.

I'll be on the 10/31 Cruise, so I just got the email today, with the nice little "found here" link to the Bermuda's Website, and the $75 fee surprise... I'll be flying to LGA from Canada on the day of the Cruise, so I'll need a negative PCR test regardless 72 hours prior... I'll need to check with Switch Health and see what their turn around times are, I already have an at home test kit, since I'm and Uber Driver and we can get them for free by competing COVID-19 test kit returns for Uber Customers.

72 hours prior should suffice for the Airline, NCL, and Bermuda... If I don't get the "TA" from Bermuda before boarding for whatever reason, then it should arrive to my email while we are heading to Bermuda... Still not overly pleased about this additional fee, I have read through this entire thread, and I see that someone mentioned that Bermuda is not going to bend over backwards to attract tourists... But $75 seems a bit much for something that I'm sure is automated, looking at the test results, to make sure everyone is negative.
