You still have to obtain an authorization. You have to upload your Covid card or if unvaccinated, upload proof of traveler’s insurance.Well, at least we don't all have to pay $40 for the 10/31 cruise, no matter what DCL does. That's a win!
Unvaxxed under 5s don't need insurance.You still have to obtain an authorization. You have to upload your Covid card or if unvaccinated, upload proof of traveler’s insurance.
However, anybody over two still has to has toUnvaxxed under 5s don't need insurance.
Under 11 does not have to obtain travel insurance, if both parents are vaccinated. That’s coming from the Bermuda website.Unvaxxed under 5s don't need insurance.
You never had to submit test results. The cruise line handles that for you. You only need to submit proof of travel insurance if you aren't vaccinated.Thank you all.
So just summarizing, as DW and I are on Oct 31st sailing:
1) We don't need to submit 2-day prior official testing results
2) We don't need to submit documentation of travel insurance (which we will have)
3) We DO have to pay the $40 each to get our "Bermuda Travel Authorization" which is on their website https://www.gov.bm/cruise-travel-authorisation,
4) After noting that we are arriving by cruise ship, and departing via the Magic on Oct 31st, I get the below version of the form which does NOT ask me for "1)" or "2)" and only asks for copies of my and my wife's vaccination record.

Disney hasn't updated their website yet to reflect the new policy. I know people in our cruise group (Oct 26th sailing) were planning on calling this week, with the assumption Disney may not have had time yet due to hurricane shuffling.Did you call Disney about the pre-testing? The website is still reflecting that we have to complete a test two days prior.
Well, they do require your vaccination documents. That's the problem. Hopefully, that changes before October 31. It's not clear what happens on October 26, though. The website says that unvaccinated people still need proof of medical insurance, but it doesn't say anything about travel authorizations for vaccinated people. On the other hand, you can apply for a travel authorization for the October 26th and October 31st cruises, which suggests that they'll still be necessary and that we'll all be paying the ridiculous $40 fee.So I also will be sailing on 31 October and if they don’t require our vaccination documents, sounds like they just want to charge us all an extra 40 bucks each. Hope it changes before then, really don’t want to give the Bermuda my VISA numbers
And the shoreside CMs will continue saying that until Disney changes the policy, and probably for a day or so after, too. I'm still hopeful, but not optimistic.I called Disney and they said they still planned to having the testing requirements on the Oct 26th sailing despite Bermuda changing their rules.

They updated it today and it doesn’t specify different policy for pre and post 10/25. That “BEFORE YOU GO,” Bermuda Port page is the most confusing cluster of information. If anyone in your group calls, please post. I’m on 10/31 sailing. Thanks!Disney hasn't updated their website yet to reflect the new policy.

People in our cruise group have been calling and the reps all say they haven't been told there is any change to Bermudas policy. When someone complained they were told that Disney looks for #s on this stuff and to ask more people to call in. Ask your cruise group to call in too!They updated it today and it doesn’t specify different policy for pre and post 10/25.
