As a TA, I would like to thank DCL for making this announcement today when things are so calm and there's nothing else on our plates...like a hurricane for example.

I just got that too but I don't understand it?

It says you no longer need to be fully vaccinated BUT you still need to upload proof that you are??? Why?

 

[Girl of the South]

If you are not required to be vaccinated, why do you have to prove it to Safe Passage???

Because unvaccinated needs to test still

Because if you are unvaccinated, you will have to test. If you are vaccinated and you upload proof to Safe Passage, you do not have to test.

But being vaccinated is not required. So they are assuming that if you are not vaccinated you are more likely to have Covid? Which hasn't really been proven. But I guess that makes sense. I think it's to keep Safe Passage in business.

The testing is stupid now but at this rate it won’t be around much longer. Next step will be what royal did and allow at home tests that aren’t proctored!

Either way big step!

Knew the requirement for 12 and up would drop fast once the others did!

Yeah I think that makes no sense but at this point, just allowing someone to finally cruise is a big deal. I think the majority of people unvaccinated who haven't cruised, won't really care about the testing.

We won’t book and cruise till testing is gone. Not worth the stress . Plus it’s not cheap for 5 people to get a proctored test.

This sucks, we are going with a friend who's kid turns 5 just 10 days before we cruise. I know she will get him vaccinated but no way he can be fully vaccinated before we go, so she'll have to deal with the hassle of getting him tested. He'll be the only one in our travel party that will need testing. Everyone else is vaccinated or under 5

There is no testing required for under 5 if not vaccinated starting Oct 14th

EDIT: Nevermind, read what you wrote wrong. You are right

Now we just need Bermuda to drop their testing requirements in the next week or so....

Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen. They're surely enjoying their $40 per passenger fee...

It would be nice, though! Maybe by October 31?!

I’d pay the fee if I meant I didn’t need to get my 5 year old to take a test…

It also appears that Disney is returning to their standard cancellation policies on October 12. Or maybe they are giving you one final chance to cancel if you are uncomfortable with the removal of vaccination requirements.

Guests booked on the Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy or Disney Wish October 14, 2022, through January 31, 2023, may modify or cancel their sailing by October 11, 2022 without any Disney-imposed cancellation fees. Please contact your travel agent for details on how to cancel or modify your booking. Please note that change fees and cancellation fees imposed by third-party suppliers, such as airlines and hotels, as well as travel insurance, are not refundable. Refunds will be processed back to the original form of payment. Standard cancellation policies and terms and conditions apply for any cancellation or modification requests received on or after October 12, 2022.

You don't have to wait to turn 5 to get vaccinated.
