CRUISE NEWS - NCL DROPS MANDATORY PRE-CRUISE TESTING AT THE PORT

Editorial Summary

The creator provides an update regarding Norwegian Cruise Line's changes to its pre-cruise testing protocols. He explains that the company is moving away from mandatory testing at the cruise port to simplify the embarkation process. While Norwegian will no longer require testing at the port for all passengers, they will continue to require vaccinated passengers sailing from the United States to provide a negative antigen or PCR test taken two days prior to sailing. For foreign ports, a three-day requirement applies. The creator notes that passengers who arrive at the port without a negative test result can still take one at their own expense, though this will lengthen the embarkation process. These changes are scheduled to take effect on January 17, 2022. The video also features the creator's personal experiences on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas, including observations on the ship's technology, specialty dining, and a canceled excursion at Coco Cay due to weather conditions.
