ROYAL Caribbean International (RCI) will require proof of vaccination on cruises from Florida from 03 Sep.
Cruisers aged 12 and older will now have to show proof of vaccination to sail from Florida until at least Nov, which RCI was previously allowing passengers to opt out of.
Due to changing vaccine regulations in the Bahamas (CW 23 Aug) RCI’s policy for voyages leaving from Florida will now be the same as those from all other embarkation ports in the United States.
Travellers unable to show proof of vaccination will be unable to sail, while guests under 12 who are currently ineligible for the vaccine can still cruise with RCI as long as they provide a negative test result at boarding and follow health & safety protocols.
Earlier this month, a Florida judge issued a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed by Norwegian Cruise Line against the state of Florida, arguing Governor Ron DeSantis’ executive order limited the cruise line’s ability to require vaccine proof as a way to keep passengers safe (CW 18 Aug).
