Confusing Pre-Cruise Email

[yogimax]

Just received our "Sailing Day Checklist" for our 9 Night Adenture of the Seas cruise from Bayonne on October 13th.

 

In it was this requirement...

"Vaccinated Guests: PCR or antigen test must be taken no more than 2 days prior to boarding."

 

This is confusing for two reasons...

1. RCCL website says testing is only required for 10 nights or longer.

2. The new requirement for any test is withing three days not two.

 

What is going on?  Is this another mistake from Royals' infamous IT Department?

It's a automated email. We had worse. We got emails about a coast guard inspection, come 1 hour late .. interspersed with emails to make sure we were on time. Reminders for both. 

 

Some are just automated they havent redone.

Actually, the IT Dept. did their job just fine by getting the message to you - the content of the email was drafted by others, who are to blame for the outdated info. Also, that message is not that outdated since that itinerary includes Canada and the lifting of testing for there only happened a few days ago.

Outdated is outdated.

 

Someone who isn't familiar with the updated rules will be stressed thinking they need a negative test before embarkation.
