Effective 07.27.2022 testing in US is no longer required by Virgin. Hopefully RCI will follow suit.

Remember they only have two ships. Whatever ports they go to, the must first agree with that ports on vaccination, testing etc. before any cruise line can make any changes. So for Virgin. Short and simple. All other major cruise lines have a lot to do before making any changes. Each and every port must agree on any changes. That does not happen over night.

Are we going to have to see one of these "XXXX just dropped testing" in every company specific forum every time company XXXX drops testing?....

That's getting old and it's only been a couple days.

 

Yes

P and O have just announced a variation. For all cruises departing the UK testing will be required but you will be trusted to do your own tests (no supervision) and simply declare that you have tested negative with no proof required. Sounds like a terrible idea to me but that's P and O's decision.
