Royal Caribbean Relaxes Vaccination Requirements on Most Sailings
Starting with September 5th departures, guests who are not vaccinated can sail on almost all Royal Caribbean cruises from the U.S. (except itineraries that visit Canada or Bermuda).
Testing protocols will be easier
Starting with September 5th, for U.S. cruises that don’t visit Canada or Bermuda:
Vaccinated guests won’t have to take a pre-cruise test on cruises that are shorter than 10 nights.
Unvaccinated guests age 5 and up will need to test within 3 days before boarding, regardless of cruise length.
Royal Caribbean will begin accepting results from self-administered home tests. See full testing details
