Going to the Bahamas is about to get easier if you are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
Bahamas Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis announced his country is easing restrictions for international travelers flying into the Bahamas.
Beginning May 1, EW reports the Prime Minister announced international travelers will be exempted from RT-PCR testing once they have been fully vaccinated and have passed the two-week immunity period — in line with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines.
Anyone that has not been fully vaccinated will will still be required to obtained a negative RT-PCR test to enter The Bahamas.
The goal, according to the Prime Minister, is to expand its vaccination program across the country.
Prior to this change, all international guests had to provide a negative test result at least 5 days before arrival.
The change comes a month before Royal Caribbean is scheduled to begin sailings from Nassau, Bahamas on Adventure of the Seas.

There has been no update by Royal Caribbean or The Bahamas about the Prime Minister's announcement yet.
Details on additional health and safety measures to be implemented by Royal Caribbean will be announced at a later date.
On April 2, the CDC announced that people who are fully vaccinated with a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized vaccine can travel safely within the United States.
The CDC also suggests waiting to travel outside the United States until you are fully vaccinated with an FDA authorized vaccine.
The CDC added you do not need to get tested before leaving the United States if you are fully vaccinated unless your international destination requires it.
