COVID tests no longer required

Hello,

I read that some cruise companies no longer require you to do a negative test before you sail from US ports. My cruise is a MSC 3 day from Port Canaveral and the news said MSC will drop the need for tsets from 8th of August. I can't see anything on the MSC website saying this and wondered if this was true or not. Has anyone else know anything about this this ?

Thanks

I know that if you are sailing with Celebrity and a 5 day or lest you don't have to test.

I've just looked on MSC Cruise.com and this is what it says
msccruisesusa/health...afety-measures

VACCINATION POLICY
All guests 12 and older must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. MSC Cruises recommends that fully vaccinated guests receive booster doses when eligible to do so, per CDC recommendations. All crew are fully vaccinated and regularly tested.

Through August 28th, 2022, all guests (including all children 2 years and older) must submit a negative test at embarkation before boarding.

Beginning August 29th, 2022, a negative test is required for unvaccinated guests on all sailings and for vaccinated guests on sailings that are six nights or longer.

So it reads to me if you are doing a 3 night you don't have to test?

We sail in a couple of days with MSC and have checked to web site again and it seems to read like a non us resident need to produce a test. Panicking now as we have nothing in place. Am I reading it right?

Help..
