Royal Caribbean reverses course on vaccinations

Now Covid jabs only recommended

03/24/2021

AND SO IT BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Easthampton Travel is right here to help you plan your well deserved Vacation!!

Royal Caribbean to homeport in Bermuda!!

Royal Caribbean will place a second cruise ship targeting American guests beyond the scrutiny of the CDC.
Vision of the Seas will offer seven-night cruises out of Bermuda starting late June through August 2021.
It is the second ship to be homeported in the region beyond US waters after announcing a season of cruses from Nassau.
The itinerary includes a full day at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

It will be available for adults who have been vaccinated and children with a negative Covid-19 test.

This is another step in our safe and measured return to sailing beginning in June," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.

Guests must meet the travel requirements of Bermuda before embarking on the cruise, which includes a negative PCR test result before travel and additional testing upon arrival into the country.

"Bermuda has safely and responsibly managed the reopening of its tourism economy by air, and we will meet the challenge of doing the same for the cruise industry," said Bermuda Premier David Burt.

Currently ARUBA has 16 resorts which offer return testing on-site. 2 additional resorts are finalizing getting testing on property. This covers the majority of their resorts on island.
Keep in mind they offer same day results so you can test 48 hrs prior to departure which will allow a cushion in case there is a delay on the return flight.
It's time to travel and Easthampton Travel will take care of you from start to finish!!!

A Message From the Heart:
It's no secret that travel and tourism has been among the sectors hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The U.S. Travel association estimates that more than 4 million travel jobs were lost in the U.S. alone in 2020. Behind each one of those numbers is a personal story: homes lost, dreams dashed, families uprooted and, in some cases, new opportunities realized. Easthampton Travel has coped, survived and has now reinvented ourselves. Due to the devastation to the travel industry... Easthampton Travel is now remote. Our phone number is the same..... our email is the same.... WE ARE THE SAME ... Please continue to support your locally owned and operated travel agency. Nichole and I thank those of you from the bottom of our hearts that continue to support us and believe in us. There is NOTHING we can not do. Here's to a new journey that we can not wait to share with all of you.. our friends, family and customers

Anyone flying to the U.S. will soon need to show proof of a negative test for Covid-19, health officials announced Tuesday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requirement expands on a similar one announced late last month for passengers coming from the United Kingdom. The new order takes effect in two weeks.

Covid is widespread in the U.S., with more than 22 million cases reported to date, including more than 375,000 deaths. The new measures are designed to try to prevent travelers from bringing in newer forms of the virus that scientists say can spread more easily.

The CDC order applies to U.S. citizens as well as foreign travelers. The agency said it delayed the effective date until Jan. 26 to give airlines and travelers time to comply.

International travel to the U.S. has already been decimated by pandemic restrictions put in place last March that banned most foreigners from Europe and other areas.

Travel by foreigners to the U.S. and by Americans to international destinations in December was down 76 percent compared with a year earlier, according to the trade group Airlines for America.

The new restrictions require air passengers to get a Covid-19 test within three days of their flight to the U.S., and to provide written proof of the test result to the airline. Travelers can also provide documentation that they had the infection in the past and recovered. Airlines are ordered to stop passengers from boarding if they don't have proof of a negative test.

"Testing does not eliminate all risk," CDC director Robert R. Redfield said in a statement. "But when combined with a period of staying at home and everyday precautions like wearing masks and social distancing, it can make travel safer, healthier, and more responsible by reducing spread on planes, in airports, and at destinations."

The CDC order is "a reasonable approach" to reducing the risk of new variants from abroad entering the U.S., said Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of Brown University's school of public health. It's likely that the recently identified version of the virus from the United Kingdom is "probably in every state or most states. This is going to do nothing for that," he said. So far, 10 states have reported 72 cases of the variant.

But the new order might stop or diminish the spread of other new versions of the virus, like one recently identified in South Africa.

"I can imagine other countries are going to impose (preflight testing) on us," Jha added.

Airlines have been lobbying for preflight testing to replace broad travel restrictions between the U.S. and the rest of the world. In some cases, they have arranged for passengers to avoid quarantines after arrival by getting tested before their flight.

Testing "is key to unlocking international borders and safely reopening global travel," said Nicole Carriere, a spokesperson for United Airlines, one of three major U.S. carriers that fly to Europe and Asia.

Others say the CDC order is unlikely to cause an immediate spike in international travel.

"People are being encouraged by their public-health authorities to not travel, even domestically," said Henry Hartevedlt, a travel analyst for Atmosphere Research Group. He doesn't expect air travel to pick up until the summer when more people have been vaccinated.
