firefly333 Posted November 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I got the email too as I'm sure most did. It seems to say no more testing from usa. I have a 10 day and hope this means no testing on 10 day or longer cruises. I hope I'm reading it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I read this, the only closed loop cruises out of the U.S. that still require testing regardless of length are those that have a port stop in Columbia.

Rare HappyTexan44 Posted November 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I wonder why they even want to know the vaccination status now. Inertia, maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't pulled out the vaccination cards in months. Do people still show them at checkin? or just answer a question in the the health questionaire? I just looked at RCCLs website and did not see any mention of having to have any extra paperwork besides boarding pass and passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTeach Posted November 10, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Also received this email. Seems as if a test , regardless of vac stat, must be done if going to Columbia.That's not what is stated on Royal's site, nor does anyone at Royal know anything about this "emergency notification". Leaving home on Sat. for cruise on Wed. Confused!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it changes by then I think, based on what I highlighted, that if you are fully vaccinated you no longer need to test on cruises that visit Columbia: For Cruises from the U.S. and Caribbean with stops in Colombia Guests age 12 and up who are not fully vaccinated have 3 days to take a test before their cruise, regardless the duration of the cruise. Guests under the age of 12 and fully vaccinated guests do not have have any testing requirements. Required testing can be completed using any type of PCR or antigen COVID-19 test. It can be professionally proctored at your doctor or drugstore, or it can be a test you administer to yourself at home without supervision. Tests must be arranged on your own and are at your own expense. Please note: A guest is considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the required number of doses in their vaccine series have been fully administered (e.g. 2 shots of Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, etc., or 1 shot of Johnson & Johnson). Vaccines must be approved for use by the WHO or U.S. FDA, with the exception of CanSino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
