Just got the email for our upcoming cruise with the info

Beginning September 3 until November 1, 2021, The Bahamas will require that all cruise ship passengers ages 12 and older be fully vaccinated in order for a ship to be allowed entry into any of its cruise ports, including private islands like Disney Castaway Cay.

To comply with this new requirement, all Guests ages 12 and older on your upcoming sailing must be fully vaccinated to board the ship. Approved vaccines include those produced by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. Please note, in accordance with CDC guidelines:

• Guests who have received both doses of Moderna, Pfizer or AstraZeneca are considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose has been administered.
• Guests who have received Johnson & Johnson are considered fully vaccinated 14 days after receiving one dose.
• Guests with both one dose of Moderna and one dose of Pfizer are considered fully vaccinated 14 days after the second dose.
• Guests who have received one single dose of a vector vaccine (e.g. AstraZeneca) and one single dose of a mRNA vaccine (e.g. Pfizer, Moderna) are not considered fully vaccinated.

Just caught this about Royal Caribbean from yesterday.

Royal Caribbean requires vaccinated passengers 12+

Sure took a long time for Disney to figure it out! Wonder how they will deal with cruises that straddle Sept. 3? I really thought we were doing so much better this summer. Thanks for posting, I guess . . . .

In the UK children age 12 and over have been approved for the vaccine, but it only currently being offered to those that are CEV or live with someone who is. No idea when this will change.
So that leaves us in the crappy position of a WDW holiday booked for December we aren't sure we'll be allowed to fly in for, plus an Alaska cruise booked for next August we won't be able to take if things stay the same as our daughter will be 13 by then.

Can't wait to find out on October 31 what they're doing after November 1

(On a serious note, I am guessing the Bahamas will extend this.)

Maybe Britain will catch up by the time of your trip.

Yep.

So at one point DCL had said that vaccines received outside the US didn’t count. (Or at least that was the message our DU travel agent sent us as clients in Canada.)

Have they changed their tune on that? Or was that reading incorrect and vaccines count no matter where they are administrated?

Coming from Canada we are in a similar position in that our 13 yr old DD is now fully vaccinated with Pfizer but both DH and I have AZ/Moderna so fully vaccinated here but not according to the US CDC so we still can't cruise

My cruise isn't until January, and I still got this same email saying it was required. So it looks like Dis is requiring for a while past Nov 1.

Weird, we sail in November and didn't get it!

It not so much location but mixed vax depends on the mix and not all mixes qualify as ‘vaccinated’

Right now, DCL has it narrowly applying to cruises to the Bahamas from 9/3 through 11/1. So technically, your Alaskan cruise will not be impacted. But I do expect this requirement will extend beyond the current parameters.
