For more information regarding entry requirements into the Turks & Caicos Islands please visit their Tourism Site. This travel insurance policy must have a minimum of $10,000 per person in medical expense coverage and $30,000 coverage for emergency medical evacuation with no COVID-19 exclusions. Cruise lines have shifted their requirements for passengers, making cruising accessible to practically everyone. Many popular cruise lines have eliminated the vaccine and pre-embarkation test as the industry is beginning to shift away from mandatory vaccines and testing. When boarding, do they ask for vaccine status or testing if not vaccinated?
COVID-19 Timeline of Key Events in the Turks and Caicos
Since the cruise restart and currently, unvaccinated guests 18 and older are allowed to take a cruise that stops at Grand Turk, but they aren’t allowed to get off the ship there. Before the protocol change everyone had to produce a negative test or proof of vaccination at check-in so Carnival knew who was vaccinated and unvaccinated. I’m guessing now if your cruise goes to Grand Turk, you will have to show your vaccination card at check-in so you can get off in Grand Turk. I spoke with my travel agent today, and she said that it depends on the cruise line/contracts in place.
Updated entry requirements for the Turks and Caicos Islands
If you are not vaccinated, can you get on the ship? Just how many sick people were on the ship is all I know. One of these decisions was to require that all adult visitors must be vaccinated.

There are no poisonous snakes in the country or other major concerns, but you may be interested in Poisonous Animals, Plants and Insects. Although not sure the 2 women had to make such a big scene about it, which they did. I mean, I would have questioned it, as in "What's the point now!?" LOL!
Country Reopening
Please note that there are no exemptions to the vaccination requirement for religious reasons. Effective May 1st 2022, there will be new entry requirements for the Turks and Caicos Islands. Approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full agreement are generally marked. Use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home, and always stay alert and aware of your surroundings. The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee. Rabies is a deadly disease that must be treated quickly, and treatment may not be available in some countries.
Turks & Caicos’s See Major Increase In Visitor Arrivals
The Turks and Caicos began vaccinating the local population against COVID-19 on 11 January 2021. Then-Governor Nigel Dakin and then-Premier Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson were among the first to receive the vaccine in an effort to encourage persons to take it. On 22 July, the day of reopening, there were 86 cumulative COVID-19 cases. A month later, this had increased to 347, and by two months, the number was 668, where it mostly stabilized until mid-December 2020. The Ministry of Tourism wishes to advise the general public of the Emergency Powers (COVID-19) (No. 4) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2020 which came into operation on 15th May 2020.

TCI Assured was an online travel authorization portal, where tourists were required to upload proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test, along with proof of travel insurance, in order to obtain authorization. This authorization was then shown to airline staff on check-in, and also to local immigration officials. Grand Turk dropped the requirements for pre-visit testing, travel insurance, and authorization forms from May 1, 2022. Now, 11 months later, the last requirement – full vaccination – will end. Carnival Cruise Line has reached out to booked guests to notify them of a change in vaccination requirements for one of the most popular cruise ports in the Caribbean.
But appears these rules and requirements are in flux so best to have vax card or don't plan on getting off the ship if unvaxed. I pulled up a Princess cruise and the notice at the top, which should show any restrictions, said ALL are welcome on this sailing. Princess has no requirements or protocols in place. All returning residents, regardless of vaccination status are strongly advised to get tested for COVID-19 after arrival in the TCI.

Food and water standards around the world vary based on the destination. Standards may also differ within a country and risk may change depending on activity type (e.g., hiking versus business trip). You can learn more about safe food and drink choices when traveling by accessing the resources below. Travelers are at risk of measles if they have not been fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior to departure, or have not had measles in the past, and travel internationally to areas where measles is spreading.
If so, then the ship has the information and they will share that with GT officials. The Turks and Caicos re-opened for tourism on 22 July 2020. In preparation for the border reopening, the Government launched TCI Assured on 20 July.
The Turks and Caicos Islands Government (TCIG) is pleased to announce that the destination has increased its COVID-19 testing facilities in response to entry requirement for the United States of America, United Kingdom and Canada. The list of accepted vaccines may expand in the future. Bring your original proof of vaccination with you while you travel for inspection. All travelers 10 years of age or older, regardless of citizenship, must provide proof of a COVID-19 test result to enter TCI. This applies to unvaccinated children under 16 years of age, who are accompanying a parent, step-parent, guardian or tutor who is a fully vaccinated traveler.
The Turks and Caicos Islands Government has relaxed restrictions for vaccinated travelers to the destination. All unvaccinated children under the age of 16 years should be included as travelers in the submission to TCI Assured. Alison Fox is a contributing writer for Travel + Leisure. When she's not in New York City, she likes to spend her time at the beach or exploring new destinations and hopes to visit every country in the world. Luggage is then disinfected before being brought onto the ship and staterooms cleaned with electrostatic fogging. Masks will be required during the embarkation process and while riding a shore excursion bus, but will not be required on board.
