Caribbean. Puerto Rico Implements Strict Requirements, Symphony of the Seas Denied

Read Time:35 Seconds

December 27. Cruise ships with a call to Puerto Rico scheduled will be unlikely to dock in the capital in the next week. The local government implemented strict entry requirements that will be making it near impossible for ships to comply.

The island has implemented a new rule which states that all passengers and crew members who wish to disembark in Puerto Rico must have a negative result of a viral test (molecular or antigen) performed within two days (48 hours) before disembarking in Puerto Rico.

The first ship to be affected has been Symphony of the Seas, which was denied entry this morning, December 27 at no fault to the cruise line.
