Royal Caribbean will require all cruise ship passengers 12 and older to be fully vaccinated
The Bahamas issued an emergency order on Thursday that says cruise ships will not be allowed to enter ports in the Bahamas if there are unvaccinated passengers on board aged 12 and older without a medical excuse.
As a result of this change by The Bahamas, Royal Caribbean announced it will now require passengers 12 and older to be vaccinated.
For cruises departing from any U.S. port and visiting The Bahamas on and after Sept. 3, guests who are 12 and older must provide proof of vaccination in order to sail. This also applies to itineraries that include Perfect Day at CocoCay.
