New health protocols

[Coach_Chris]

Good morning. We are both fully vaccinated with Sputnik which as I understand is not recognised by Royal Caribbean. This is a pity as it is recognised by Italy and all the countries on our itinerary, and no other vaccines are available where we are. So, do I understand by the new protocols that currently we would be able to sail but would be considered unvaccinated guests? Then as a complete newbie, perhaps someone can give some advice about getting a test done the day before sailing in Venice?

My question regarding mask wearing on a cruise ship is how do we know if a guest is unvaccinated that is not a child? As most of us know being vaccinated is not a guarantee of not contracting covid

Hey @Coach_Chris, does look like you have to be vaccinated with an approved vaccine as it lists here: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-vaccines-are-accepted.
