Royal Caribbean cruise company released a statement saying that unvaccinated passengers will have to pay testing fees and will be subject to various restrictions even though Gov. Ron De Santis banned companies from requiring vaccine passports through an executive order.
Article by Samuel Allegri from our partners at The Epoch Times.
On their vaccination guidelines, the company is saying that passengers will be asked for their vaccination documentation, and anyone age 2 and above who is unvaccinated will be required to go through “multiple COVID-19 tests,” which would be priced at $136 per person.
Royal Caribbean additionally says they would cover the testing costs for passengers age 2 to 15.
“We strongly recommend all guests 16 and older be fully vaccinated. To be considered fully vaccinated, the final dose of the vaccine must be completed at least 14 days before sailing,” the statement reads.
“At check-in, guests will be asked to provide documentation of their vaccination.”
“Those who are 16 and older and do not have or are unable to provide documentation will be considered unvaccinated,” the company announced.
Passengers can provide a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card as an example of vaccination proof.
Royal Caribbean then states that people who are unvaccinated must undergo “Additional COVID-19 testing at their own expense,” and have to go through restrictions based on CDC recommendations, adding that if anyone disagrees with the protocols the cruise line can issue a refund.
The cruise line’s new guidelines also come after a federal judge struck down the CDC’s “no sail order” on Friday, which effectively means the agency can’t require that all cruise passengers be vaccinated.
“Since the majority of our guests will be vaccinated on Freedom of the Seas, there will be venues and events restricted to vaccinated guests only. We’ll do our best to create opportunities for all guests to enjoy their time with us. Please note, your SeaPass card will be required to access lounges, shows, and dining venues, so keep it handy at all times during your cruise,” the company announced.
Some venues will only grant access to vaccinated passengers, where people who have taken the shot won’t be required to wear a mask.
Masks won’t be required for people under the age of 2.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
