Question about time in Bermuda on Mariner

[mafig]

I recall reading about a Crystal cruise that went to Bermuda last year.  Only a few hundred on board, if I recall correctly; but it still took almost half a day to get everyone cleared to even dock, then go ashore.

Royal's itinerary really doesn't give all that much time there, imo. to do additional testing.  

I understand it's their island and they can do whatever they want.

I just looked at NCL's website and they DO list all the requirements for Bermuda sailings and it seems that they are going to give all guests a PCR test prior to arrival in Bermuda.  Not sure I am going to want to jump thru all those hoops.  Glad I am not going until October  Might have to shift to 2023

The cynic in me wonders if that's a sign if the price dropped close to non-bermuda itineraries. 

So far, the published itinerary hasn't changed. I suspect the price drops might be due to many people cancelling their cruise and the algorithm in the pricing software simply reduces the price.
