As I previously stated, I’ll be passing along information as it happens on the new CDC ruling about testing prior to returning home from an international destination.
In just 48 hours much has been accomplished. Many hotels are offering a comp stay for up to 14 days if you do test positive.
Stay tuned!
New rules for U.S. passengers returning from an International destination as of January 26, 2021:
All inbound passengers, regardless of citizenship status, must get tested no more than 3 days before their flight to the U.S. departs.
The test must be a viral test (NAAT or antigen test).
If the passenger has tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 3 months, they do not have get tested again but can travel instead with documentation of their positive viral test results and a letter from their healthcare provider or a public health official that states they has been cleared for travel.
It is the responsibility of the airline to confirm a COVID-19 negative test result or documentation of recovery for all passengers before boarding, and to deny boarding if such is not presented.
Passengers must also fill out a CDC attestation form.
The test result must be in the form of written documentation (paper or electronic copy) of a laboratory test, and must include information that identifies the person, a specimen collection date and the type of test administered, as well as verification information, such as the name and contact information for the laboratory that performed the test.
Upon arrival in the U.S. CDC recommends, but doesn’t require, that travelers get retested 3-5 days after travel AND stay home or otherwise self-quarantine for 7 days after travel. Note that your state may have more stringent requirements for returning travelers.
Importantly, the order allows CDC to grant waivers based on CDC’s determination that a foreign country lacks available COVID-19 testing capacity.
This order was signed by the CDC Director on January 12, 2021 and will become effective on January 26, 2021.
On a positive note, many destinations and resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean already have these testing sites and abilities in place as Canadians have had to do this to re-enter Canada for some time.
The testing and collection of fees can be handled at or near your resort.
We will continue to update our clients as information becomes available. This information is changing constantly and destinations are currently in full swing to get this situation handled.
You can refer to the CDC website for more information.
Update on international travel and the new CDC rules-
Instead of showing page upon page of lists of hotels and their protocols on here I’ll be reaching out to each of my clients with that information.
If you did not book with Deal Travel and Cruises LLC I urge you to contact your booking source for current testing protocols if you have an international trip booked.

It looks like the comeback of big-ship cruising in North America is, finally, at hand.
Two of the world’s biggest cruise lines, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises, on Friday announced they would resume North America cruises in June with sailings out of the Bahamas and St. Martin, respectively.
Royal Caribbean — the world’s largest cruise line — said it would begin seven-night sailings out of Nassau in the Bahamas on June 12 that will feature calls in the Bahamas and Mexico. The trips will take place on the line’s 3,807-passenger Adventure of the Seas — a ship that originally was scheduled to spend the summer in Europe.
Celebrity, a sister line to Royal Caribbean, said it would begin seven-night sailings out of St. Martin on June 5 that will feature calls at such destinations as Aruba, Curaçao and Barbados. The trips will take place on the line’s 2,218-passenger Celebrity Millennium — a ship that originally was scheduled to spend the summer in Alaska.
In a departure from what is typical for big-ship Bahamas and Caribbean cruises, the sailings will not originate in or involve any stops at U.S. ports. This means they will not require the approval of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). They only require the approval of officials in the destinations where the ships will visit, which the lines now have.
Both Royal Caribbean and Celebrity said adult passengers on the newly announced sailings would need to show proof of a vaccine for COVID-19 to sail. The lines said children under 18 could sail with proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
Their announcements come just days after Crystal Cruises, a relatively small cruise brand that focuses on luxury sailings, announced it would restart cruising in North America in July with its own first-ever sailings out of Nassau in the Bahamas.
Taken together, the announcements mark a significant milestone in the comeback of cruising worldwide after a year-long halt to nearly all cruises due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Celebrity will offer two different itineraries out of St. Martin. One will feature calls at Aruba, Curaçao and Barbados. The other will bring visits to Tortola, St. Lucia and Barbados.
The Royal Caribbean sailings will open for bookings on March 24, and the Celebrity sailings will open for bookings on March 25.
Both lines said they would operate the new sailings with a long list of new health and safety measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on board the ship, some of which would be announced at a later date.
Royal Caribbean said that, in addition to a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for all adult passengers, it would require that all crew on Adventure of the Seas be vaccinated for COVID-19 before the sailings begin.
Royal Caribbean noted that passengers would have to meet additional requirements being imposed by the government of the Bahamas that might include receiving a negative COVID-19 PCR test result before their arrival in the country, testing upon arrival into the country and filling out appropriate entry forms.
