Saw this from someone in the UK:

No mention of a vaccine requirement?

I noticed that, too. Interesting.

I’m just surprised because I would have thought that’s why they went UK-only: they’re vaccinating well there.
And other lines (Celebrity/Royal/Crystal) have gone ahead with the vax mandate.

Granted, this is hypothetical. UK hasn’t signed off on it and very well may require vaccines for 18+.

It is both going well and not going well. More than half of adults have had one jab but the decided to postpone jab #2 to 10-12 weeks after. And now we’re in a vaccine battle with the EU so it might be we don’t have enough to do the second jabs.
Which would put us back to starting from scratch again I guess, other than the 80+ (maybe 75+) and healthcare workers.
Also the government have made ot clear they will not look at proof of vaccine until all adults are done. I got an info card with a space to put down the date I should have my second one done by, but it isn’t stamped or dated or signed to say I had one. The database is updated but we have no way to access it. So we have nothing to prove we’ve been vaccinated. Not sure if we get something after the second jab.
But there are no U.K. guidelines yet for cruising so I don’t see how they can start selling next week.

Eek.
To be fair, they can sell whatever they want, regardless of whether it will sail. You can still book summer 2021 sailings from Canaveral that will never sail. I think Disney would be wiser to sail from Nassau to Castaway. Just require vaccines or PCR test to sail and provide PCR tests 72 hours out from return so people can fly home. Plenty of Americans would go for that.

The Bahamas are insisting on:
PCR test less than 72 hours before arrival
and
Lateral flow test on arrival

What is a lateral flow test?
Sounds like a royal pain to travel internationally this year. That’s why we pushed off our Europe trip another year. Again.

It’s the quick test that gives results in 30 minutes. Not as accurate but less expensive.
I do them twice a week at home. It’s voluntary for school staff and senior pupils (15+) here. In England I believe all school kids of 11+ are doing them (ours aren’t back in school full time yet).
@marni1971 any insider info on these or when we can book outside of “April”
seems strange how the other main lines have released yet disney is keeping quiet
rcl releasing theirs to sell tomorrow and would like to know if we should wait for Disney

At a guess they are waiting for confirmation from the Government that these can go ahead. I think an update is coming about travel (which I think this falls under) on April 12th.

No prices?
So we’re supposed to call to book without knowing how much it’s going to cost?
As a marker, I think it’s RCL that have priced the same U.K. staycation cruises at around £400 per person for a 2 night cruise. Disney will I assume add 50% to the cost.

All the dates have disappeared from the website now - so we are expected to book without knowing dates as well as prices !!?? Anyone have any idea what's going on ?
