Bavarian Cruiser Posted March 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I think at moment you can go off board only by government approved tours or by ship excursions! Or does anyone knows changes of rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaAC Posted March 18, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I just finished reading this. It's the official travel advisory. https://www.stlucia.org/en/discover-saint-lucia/ Hope this helps Ac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted March 19, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Actually, the protocols are listed here: www.stlucia.org/covid-19 Fully vaxxed cruise passengers can explore on their own. Of course, the cruise lines can make their own restrictions that override - that's up to the lines..and several lines have done so much as Princess, etc. Non-vaccinated visitors are restricted to ship's tours or gov't certified tour/taxi to certified activities.

RedInOhio Posted March 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I looked at the St. Lucia website and it said that fully vaccinated must have a Covid test. I copied the following information from the website. Fully vaccinated travellers aged 5 years and older must have a valid negative Rapid Antigen test or Rapid COVID-19 PCR test done 1 day prior to arrival or a valid negative Standard COVID-19 PCR test done within 5 days prior to arrival Does anyone have an update or know what the Princess Cruises and St. Lucia protocols are? Any current information would be greatly appreciated. We are on Emerald Princess April 2nd. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is different for Cruise Arrivals versus air/private boat arrivals.. Princess tour info is right at their website also - at the top, at the black/grey banner under Health Protocols, then US sailings then Shore Visits and Excursions. Details of the Princess restrictions and such are right there.. Safe Travels Edited March 31, 2022 by reedprincess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VineyardsGal Posted April 4, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Hi. I was in St. Lucia on March 25th. After docking we walked to end of shopping area/taxi area. There were many shuttles/taxis' to take you on tours or beaches. Very organized. We paid $20 pp roundtrip to take you to Rodney Bay/Reduit Beach. Very nice beach. We were picked up promptly.

Several beachfront restaurants and bars, along with over 20+ within easy walking distance of the beach. It's a 20-40 minutes ride depending on traffic - leave plenty of time to get back.

VineyardsGal Posted April 28, 2022 Author #14 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The shuttle drops you off right next to a beach bar/restaurant Spinmakers. Guys meet your van and offer to rent you beach chairs and umbrellas. Next door is a very casual Yacht Club open to the public. Close by is Bay Gardens hotel which looks very nice and also has a beach restaurant/bar. We walked the beach and had drinks at Spinmakers. Very nice location and very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Reedprincess is right. There was a lot of traffic on the way back to ship. Leave yourself plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
