ROYAL TO ALLOW UNVACCINATED CRUISERS ON SELECT CRUISES - CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses recent policy changes from Royal Caribbean regarding vaccination requirements for passengers. Starting September 5, 2022, the cruise line will allow unvaccinated travelers on select itineraries departing from Los Angeles, Galveston, New Orleans, and Europe. However, the creator notes significant limitations to this policy, such as the inability to visit certain destinations like Grand Cayman if they require vaccination. Notably, cruises departing from Florida still require passengers to be vaccinated because the company is working to establish agreements with Eastern Caribbean nations. The host speculates that these incremental changes allow the company to measure the impact of removing mandates before implementing broader global changes. Additionally, Celebrity Cruise Line is implementing similar partial changes for departures from Los Angeles and the United Kingdom, excluding itineraries that include Iceland. The creator advises travelers to verify specific requirements with their cruise lines, citing the complexity of varying rules for different ports and destinations. The video concludes with footage from Glacier Bay, Alaska, where the host is currently cruising.
