I've heard some rumblings on "other places" that RCCL CSR's are saying that pre-cruise testing would end as of Oct 1.  Of course RCCL CSR's are not exactly reliable, but it's about 5 people saying this.  So, that make me wonder that since RCCL's protocols are listed as being through Sept. 2022, if they will just keep everything that way and then let it expire as of Oct. 1.

Boo!  I sail from Copenhagen on Sept 4th.

 

Pre-cruise testing needs to end Sept 1st.  🤞

Hopefully they will just change it so I don't have to for my Sept. Allure cruise

Just heard that the cruise lines are meeting tomorrow morning.  Looks like they may be trying to a consensus on how to proceed.

Wonder if the cruise lines will remove testing before the cruise? I will not wear a mask indoors anywhere. What good is it?

keeps your runny nose warm lololol and not much else

What's the association between testing and masking? Cruiselines haven't required masks in forever

You can smoke them pool side or in the casino.  Much healthier than cigarettes.

"CDC ruling ... it's not fair!  I want a refund."

[Project-College]

I willing to forfeit the cost of my Proctored exams for the 'ease of mind' of not taking the test 2 DAYS before we leave!!!!

[lovescats5]

Here's hoping they discontinue the pre-cruise testing before Sept. 19.  It would be wonderful to not have to worry about that.

Thursday would work for me lol.  We're cruising on EN on Fri, but we're going to Bermuda that is one of the last holdouts requiring testing.

 

I'll take Oct 1 as our next cruise after this Fri is Nov 6 out of PC on Jewel.  It'd be nice to not have to worry/think about testing while in FL.

[crewsweeper]

My thoughts are that cruise lines will stop limiting non-vaxxed passengers but maintain the testing in order to meet destination ports guidelines .

[DragonOfTheSeas]

Our cruise is to the Baltic.  those countries stopped testing requirements some time ago.

[Ashland]

We cruise out of Amsterdam next Tuesday the 26th....hoping pre-cruise test will stop but doubtful RCI will make the change that fast.

 

But maybe for our Sept 18th cruise out of Vancouver.

[We Be Floatin !]

This would be wonderful if Pre Cruise testing would be dropped !!  But, I need it by July 31 sailing on Miss Allure !!!!!

Except for their poor crew members.  We still don't know what most of them look like.

Same here. Require testing until I've used all of mine. 🤣

Aren't there still some islands and other countries Royal goes to still require people to be vaccinated?
