Thanks for joining us for another weekly look at all of the Royal Caribbean news from this week. The late-summer heat is still on, and we have plenty of Royal Caribbean news to share from this week.
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.
Royal Caribbean subsequently said it will now require all passengers 12 and older to vaccinated because of the new Bahamian policy.
Royal Caribbean's new policy says any ship 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.
