I would love clarification on this policy. We are traveling from our state to Chicago, to London, to Berlin and overnighting than boarding a train to get to Warnemunde, Germany. We all have had covid and varying vax status, including unvax teen. How the heck are we supposed to get a RT-PCR test before leaving (cutting it very close time wise), or while we're in Europe? At London or Berlin airports? This will be such a stress point for all of us, wondering and hoping that we can do this, is the place open, will there be enough time (and expense). Do you know if MSC is still requiring this or have plans to continue to require it.
or fully vaccinated guests, testing is recommended (within 72 hours of embarkation) but not required (with proof of vaccination), per our vaccination requirements.
All guests ages 5 years old or older who are unvaccinated or do not have proof of a vaccine certificate, must show proof of a lab-administered negative COVID-19 viral test (RT-PCR or antigen) taken within 48 hours of embarkation. Children under 5 years of age are not required to submit a negative test.
A rapid antigen self-test is not valid for travel purposes.
The original test results certificate and vaccination certificate must be presented at the terminal (paper or electronic format) and must be in one of the following languages: English, Italian, German, French or Spanish. COVID-19 test certificate must contain the guest’s personal data (verifiable with the other travel documents), date of the test, identification/contact details of the center that performed the analysis, technique used, and negative test result.
