End Of Cruise COVID test

[SKSMIKE5]

Are current Quantum OTS sailings requiring COVID tests before deboarding in Seattle? I thought I read on the RCCL website that they are, but I haven't seen any mention of it on current posts. If someone tests positive I assume they just quarantine on their own and RCCL isn't responsible for tracking them?

 

Friends just got off Explorer OTS in Miami last week, went to the two private Islands and Jamaica and did not test before getting off the ship. Thanks.

If RCI is requiring tests to disembark the ship, that's one thing, and perhaps you need to ask on the RCI board. But if you sail into the US, you are NOT required to test negative by the US government.

Our unvaxed under age 5 was required to test before debarking from our Eastern Caribbean RCI cruise last month. No one asked about this at MCO when we flew home. The rest of us that were vaxed did not have to.

Yeah I can't speak for RCI specifically but on Celebrity our unvaxed 4 year old is going to have to test within 24 hrs of coming back into port in Seattle, I think it is because technically the ship is going into international waters they want to make sure the unvaxed are checked upon re-entry, even though no test is required for the flight home. If you are vaccinated though, then you shouldn't have to test upon return to Seattle or for the flight home.
