Hi there, we are sailing on the 17th and my two boys are having a complete meltdown re testing.....
They had a bad experience in Spain two months ago where the medic insisted on doing the swabbing himself - he was extremely rough and as a result they are terrified of being swabbed.
They were so excited about the cruise, until they realised that they will have to get tested..... they are now saying they don't want to go on the cruise as they are terrified that they are going to get hurt again..... I swab and test them twice a week for school (they are fine with this)......
My question is - will I be allowed to swab them or do the authorities insist on doing the swabbing? Hoping we will be allowed to swab ourselves so I can tell them and put their minds at rest.
