Nick&Simon Posted June 30, 2021 #501 Share Posted June 30, 2021 We had our Eurofins PCR tests at Bristol Aztec Hotel this morning. It was superb. Well sign posted to the meeting room, a beer pleasant room, two staff who couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived 40 minutes early and that was no problem. They even gave a voucher to cover the £10 hotel parking charge. I was very impressed. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The admin lady said they send them by DHL Express to the lab a couple of times a day, but its up to the customer (Celebrity) if they are notified, the passenger notified or both notified. She didn't know the specifics for Celebrity. They are doing test for multiple customers. Either way results tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it ends you might not feel like it, but it would be great to read your experiences and thoughts on this general board. Have a brilliant time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, we have "maidens" on this, Cunard and Princess. It will be interesting to compare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works as well as yours did. Good luck with your result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Mc Posted June 30, 2021 #507 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Hi All can assure you that the 3 staff at East Midlands today were absolutely superb. Felt in very good hands. Car parking fee is sorted for you too. It was a nose swab only. Hoping for results tomorrow keeping everything crossed. L 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was at 10:33pm: "Guests aged 2 years and over must wear a Tracelet at all times. Guests will be issued with their Tracelet during the check-in process at the terminal."

hawkesbaynz Posted July 1, 2021 #514 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Recommend having a written proof of COVID vaccination for the cruise. The App not working today when I was checking my dates when completing medical forms at a hospital. Can print from the App or request via website/119. Maybe busy now Malta demanding written proof. Looking forward to watching the Silhouette sail down Southampton Water. We live in Hamble opposite the refinery. Can see the funnels from our top floor but will go down to the foreshore for a good view. Might upload a photo too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalisburyNick Posted July 1, 2021 #515 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'm booked on the 17th July Cruise, but haven't had anything from Celebrity about booking a PCR test. Do they send an email with info on how to book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes requesting a paper copy which will take 5 days is probably wise. What if your phone is lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vino123 Posted July 1, 2021 #521 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Ended up going with Assured Screening at Newark for our PCR tests as they offered evening appointments. We arrived an hour before our scheduled appointments as we left loads of time for traffic yesterday but they let us in early, nice staff, took self test in a booth, was given a barcode so I could track when it arrived at the lab. Got the results by e mail just now. used the 24hr service. very relieved to have negative results, now we can finally pack and look forward to the cruise this Saturday. Phew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll have to do it for real nearer the time because the QR code is only valid for 30 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurofins test yesterday at midday for me too. App says - still waiting. Yes, nerves are suffering, not even going to pack till I know. I hope I get the result before I take my cat to the cattery tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
