Creator's Key Takeaways

all guests over the age of two are required to arrive to the cruise terminal with a negative coven 19 test regardless if you're vaccinated or not prior to boarding on ceilings that are three nights or longer

royal caribbean puts it this way the day you sail is not one of the days you count instead count backwards from the day before to figure out which day to get your test done

royal caribbean accepts two common types of a coven-19 test and that is the pcr test or the rapid antigen test
