Welcome to the Royal Crime blog podcast, a weekly look into the world of Royal Caribbean cruising.

I'm your host Matt Hachberg, and this is episode number 404.

With cruises restarting this summer, like in the Bahamas, getting there requires a few different extra steps than even they would have been before all of this.

But this week, we're going to talk about how to get to the Bahamas, how to clear all

those hurdles to get you on board your cruise. Here we go.

This summer, we're going to have cruises restarting. Finally. I'm so excited. But you know what?

There's going to be changes, obviously. And one of the changes is probably going to be how to get to our cruise ships.

With Royal Caribbean sailing out of places like the Bahamas this summer, there's going to be some new changes to that whole procedure of getting to a cruise.

And I thought in this week's episode, we talked a little bit about getting to our cruise ship in the Bahamas for people that are sailing on adventure of the seas like me.

Yes, this is a self-serving episode.

But I think there's some helpful information for everybody here.

And joining me on today's episode is Nick Casale, who is from good old St. Pete, Florida, who recently went to the Bahamas and shared some information about,

is going to share information with us, that I should say, about his experience there.

Nick, welcome to the Rollcrim and Blog podcast.

Thanks, Matt.

Thanks for having me.

Absolutely.

Now, I need a preface this by saying, when Nick and I said, let's record a podcast, this episode

is almost already out of date because the Bahamas actually announced that fully vaccinated adults will not need to get a PCR test to enter the country.

Now, I need to be very clear about this.

Number one, as of the recording this podcast, this is something the Bohemian prime minister announced.

I don't believe it's been updated on the Bahamas website or they're in the process of doing so.
