More cruise lines drop COVID vaccine requirements
Sister cruise lines Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises said on their websites that as of Sept. 5, everyone “regardless of vaccination status” would be able to sail on specific cruises as long as they met testing requirements.
Bahamas and Caribbean cruises that leave from Florida ports – the busiest in the world – still have vaccine rules in place. The updates late this week follow an announcement Monday by Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises that unvaccinated passengers would be allowed on many cruises as of Sept. 3. The operators, all part of the same parent company, also eased testing requirements for vaccinated passengers.
The new policies came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its covid-19 cruise program. At the time the program ended last month, nearly every ship that reported data to the CDC was under observation for coronavirus cases.Article content
