Royal Caribbean expands Covid-19 testing
Royal Caribbean International has updated its policy and will now require a negative Covid test prior to boarding for sailings five nights or longer. The rule will last until at least 31 August.
It is an added precaution as the delta variant spreads across the country, especially in Florida which has a record number of cases. As it announced the change, the line reported six positive Covid cases on a sailing out of Nasau, Bahamas.
It said all other testing requirements and policies remain in place.
