That email was is not correct they later corrected it. But bottom line yes, starting Sep 23 no more pre-cruise testing for vaccinated guests

COVID-19 Testing Requirements for Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish sailings from the U.S. beginning September 23, 2022	Face Coverings
Fully Vaccinated Guests	No testing required.	Optional
Not Fully Vaccinated Guests (Ages 11 and younger)	Pre-Embarkation Testing: COVID-19 test 1-3 days before the sail date. The test must be a rapid or lab-based PCR test, or Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT). Rapid antigen tests are not accepted.	Optional, Highly Recommended

We are sailing 9/30! So glad the worry of supervised testing 1-2 days prior is cancelled! We will be at Disneyworld the donuts going to be so much more relaxing!

From the DCL Covid-19 Section under Know Before You Go, Updated today.

For sailings aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish and Disney Wonder beginning September 23, 2022 (and Disney Magic beginning November 7, 2022), fully vaccinated Guests will no longer be required to complete a second COVID-19 test at the terminal on embarkation day.

Stupid DCL

I would guess this has to do with requirements in Bermuda.

 

[goofystitch]

I got a total of 4 emails for 2 upcoming cruises. The one that says no testing for vaccinated guests came after the one that said testing still required. Which one is it DCL? I believe it will be no testing and that would be fantastic. Hopefully they will straighten it out ASAP.

Arrrrrgh! Why do you always have to be the last ones Disney???? We are going on a back-to-back Wish 9/9 and 12...just 10 days shy of this going into effect. I wish they would have started now. Oh well, glad it is ending finally for cruises going forward, but this certainly would have been nice so we don't need to pack up between cruises and have testing done at the port.

 

[SailorsWhyf]

We are also on the 9/9 Wish and we’re hoping for a change before we sail. Oh well.

 

[Kindle Addict]

Yay!!!! No testing for vaccinated guests starting September 23rd on Fantasy!!!! I am so happy! We sail October 8 and I was dreading fooling around with the testing thing.

 

[goofystitch]

I'm happy again!!! It is now on the "Know before you go" section on DCL website. Yay!!!!!

 

[FightingIrishman]

After sailing on the Fantasy this August and all passengers requiring testing negative prior to embarkation, we still got COVID19 onboard with symptoms starting debarkation day. So, I welcome the elimination of near useless required pre boarding testing.

Then there should NO port arrival times. It's time to bring back the pre-COVID embarkation!

PATs have been in place for over a decade, it had nothing to do with covid. PATs are DCL's answer to fire marshal regulations on controlling crowds. The terminal is not approved for full crowds like the Dream, Fantasy and now the Wish. It was fine for the Magic and Wonder.

But, maybe platinum could go back to not needing one...

FINE, I'll be more blunt. If you're a Platinum castaway club member, then you never needed a PAT before COVID. It's time to end unnecessary COVID restrictions and go back to the pre-COVID embarkation with the amenities that DCL has always provided leading up to COVID.

Not really needed to be blunt just specific. Had you said "platinum" it would have made sense. Because everyone else has always had to book a PAT.

I hope they do change it back. There really aren't enough perks with Castaway Club.... Platinum should at least get this one back asap.

So happy it's finally being dropped. We've only sailed once since the restart and the testing portion was easily the most stressful part. No testing for our December cruise, huzzah!
