We'll be in Bermuda on October 31st for 24 hours and have 3 kids in our group. All of the group is leaning towards going to the Horseshoe bay. What is the best mode of transport for a group of 9. We have 2 older parents as well and I want to be mindful of their comfort. Also if the weather ends up being bad, I want to have a plan B. What else can we go? Nobody in the group is interested in shopping.

Yes, this is exactly what I am referring to. It seems they know the requirement will go away at some point and have failed to communicate!

 

Even a call to the help line at the Bermuda government states they no longer require testing for your cruise arrival date (we all know the cruise line does not want testing otherwise it'd still be around for other itineraries).

 

Hopefully they'll provide an update soon for all!

Have you scheduled test appointments? I am in such a dilemma with sailing just 10 more days away. RCL needs to hurry up with their communication to reflect what the Government of Bermuda needs

Royal Caribbean has everything automated, email reminders, their call centers are bascicly human robots reading from a script. I think they will change their language before your sailing but don't be surprised if they wait until the last minute. That is why I say  they will do it when they get around to it. They don't see the urgency. Hate to sound cynical  but I don't think they really care if customers are confused. Never seen any evidence they do. Their call centers are the worst. Changed language is probably being vetted by their legal. 

You are absolutely right!! I am with their call center for the last 1 hour and they're just a bunch of robots. I'm really going to think twice before giving RCL anymore business

Hello,

 

Recently noticed per the Govt of Bermuda COVID testing is not required for cruises visiting at or after October 25, 2022. However Royal Caribbean's website it still shows a requirement for a COVID test....Called and they confirmed a testing requirement.

 

After looking at Celebrity Cruises website and their website is correct not requiring a COVID test after Oct 25. Does anyone know when the requirement for Royal Caribbean cruises with a port stop in Bermuda will be removed?

 

 

Thank you!

We're scheduled to sail to Bermuda on October 29th and RCL sent an email yesterday stating they require the negative test to sail which is so frustrating as a passenger especially when you're a big family/group. I hope they change their language soon to avoid this confusion.

Unfortunately RCL has not yet updated and they sent us an email yesterday that we require to show a negative test to board for our cruise to Bermuda on October 29th. I really hope they update on the website soon because we're a group of 9 and I hate to order tests that we won't need. It's really so frustrating to drop $40/pop for TA and then this test

Hi All, 
We're a large family sailing on October 29th to Bermuda. Since Bermuda has dropped the testing requirement, is there any possibility they may drop the TA? We're 9 of us so I was wondering how long is it safe to wait before applying for the TA? It's $360 for all of us and if there's a chance they may drop it, I hate to drop the $360 but at the same time, I don't want to wait too close to sailing. Is 1 week prior to sail date enough to get the TA approved?
Also, it sounds like Celebrity updated their website with Bermuda dropping testing requirement this morning so will RCL follow soon? I haven't ordered the proctored test because I'm really hopeful by the time we get ready to sail, RCL would have had enough time to update their site with the latest Bermuda requirements for no tests?
