Temptation Caribbean Cruise 2023 Covid Vaccines not Required for Temptation Caribbean Cruise.

Here is the official email from Temptation Caribbean Cruise 2023

We are excited to announce that Celebrity Cruises has recently updated their boarding requirements, making it easier for all passengers to sail again.

As of September 5th, no pre-boarding testing is required for vaccinated passengers, and an easy peasy self-test taken three days before boarding will suffice for unvaccinated temptationers. This means that, regardless of vaccination status, it is now possible for everyone to sail with us on the Temptation Caribbean Cruise, February 11 – 16, 2023, from Miami, Florida.

Please note that these new guidelines apply to our current ports of call, George Town and Key West; however, they are subject to change. For further details, please see the information below from Celebrity Cruises.

Vaccinated passengers:

If you are vaccinated, please plan to carry your vaccination documentation with you at all times while in port, in the event that local authorities or businesses request it to help facilitate entry and/or experiences.

If asked for documentation while in port, the vaccines approved and accepted by the World Health Organization (WHO) or by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be considered valid with the current exception of the CanSino vaccine.

Guests with a mixed series of any two of the following vaccines taken within a minimum of 28 days between doses, will also be considered fully vaccinated:Pfizer

• Moderna
• Johnson & Johnson
• AstraZeneca / Covishield
• Sinovac
• Sinopharm
• Covaxin

Any passenger who has received one dose of vaccine (other than Johnson & Johnson) will not be considered fully vaccinated.

Unvaccinated passengers:

For all sailings, unvaccinated passengers ages 5 and older must present a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 3 days prior to boarding.

Test results from any commercially available Rapid Antigen Test (RAT), including self-tests, will be accepted. Tests do not have to be supervised or proctored. Test results may be presented as a printout, screenshot or photo of the test result or the actual test. Antibody tests are not accepted.

Mask policy:

Currently, face masks are optional onboard Celebrity ships for all passengers, regardless of vaccination status.

The cruise line has updated their covid vaccine requirements for the Temptation Caribbean Cruise. Covid vaccines are not required and if you do not have a covid vaccine then you will simply have to do a negative covid test prior to boarding. We would suggest to stay up to date with the latest requirements as it seems to be changing monthly. But this change opens up the opportunity for many people to now be able to cruise. We will also be posting any updates as the cruise lines update their policies.
