DCL 's pre boarding vs RCCL's pre boarding

[SteveBrickNJ]

My family of three are booked on a Royal Caribbean Cruise (RCCL) departing Cape Liberty NJ on Dec. 24th.
Stopping at Cape Canaveral on the way to the Bahamas.
In order to be allowed on the ship the day of departure, EVERYONE ( including those of us who are fully vaccinated) has to get a Corona Virus Test proving we are healthy. It has to take place within the 72 hours or less timeframe prior to the ship sailing.
IS DISNEY CRUISE LINE REQUIRING THAT?

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

On Cruise Critic's Royal Caribbean Cruise Line forum, some have said they are expecting to pay out of pocket for the rapid test, because they might not have proof of the 3 day test in time. Even that 3 day result test which used to be free of charge, some say is no longer free unless you have obvious symptoms.
Anyone want to share their feedback on my OP or this post?

So surprised that at 8:01pm, wdwmagic's software says I've had 101 views.
Yet no one has responded.

I would tell you if I knew. Curious myself.

I think you're not getting many bites because most people here go on DCL v Royal Caribbean.

But I went to the DCL website and found this:

It currently looks like if you are vaccinated you can upload a copy of your CDC card allowing you to waive the testing requirements that the unvaccinated need to do.

Going on a Disney Cruise in a few weeks and after I uploaded my vax card it says we are clear to sail and exempt from additional testing. Not vax’d requires a pre test and a test at the cruise terminal.

Great. That is matching with Post 6 above

I have now learned that Royal Caribbean requires ALL passengers to be fully vaccinated unless departing from Florida.
I personally AM fully vaccinated but my wife and daughter chose not to be.
We have not yet paid our balance due.
Most likely we will just cancel and get a refund on the deposit.
