A Miami-based cruise operator dropped its pre-boarding COVID-19 testing requirement days after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rescinded a key virus reporting program.

Azamara, the cruise line, said that it removed the testing mandate except in areas where “it is still required in accordance with country regulations,” according to a statement. Guests will have to provide a negative COVID-19 test before getting on board, the company said.
