Passengers entering Barbados must provide a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before they fly.The ship is testing people again at the dock before they board. Finally, Barbados also tests all passengers again before people get off the ship.SeaDream has also instituted a slew of health and safety protocols onboard, some of which were developed during their successful summer season in Norway.For more on SeaDream, read up on the line's recent transatlantic voyage, which just reached the Caribbean this week.Cruise Critic will also have an editor onboard the November 14 sailing.
