Schulz2201 Posted August 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Morning just spotted this on Princess website, we thought we were being tested at the terminal ?? Fully vaccinated guests will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test along with proof of full vaccination upon arrival in the terminal and can then proceed onboard. Please note that testing in the terminal will not be available for vaccinated guests, so it’s critical that you have your negative test results with you upon your arrival. We will not be able to accommodate guests without proof of a negative test. Edited August 27, 2021 by Schulz2201 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I be required to have a pre travel COVID-19 test performed 72 hours prior to boarding the ship? To board the ship, guests will not be required to have a pre-travel COVID-19 test performed, however all guests will undergo testing at the terminal prior to board, the cost of which is complimentary.

Alcairns Posted August 27, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I think you may be looking at the US requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting you don't want to be sitting on the dock watching your cruise sail without you because you listen to the wrong info.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schulz2201 Posted August 27, 2021 Author #9 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Lol tried that, an hour and 10 minutes in, no answer but thanks for the advice 😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will check your proof of vaccine and perform an LFT at the terminal, or drive through testing site if you are coming by car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted August 27, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 27, 2021 If you are sailing from UK on a Seacation cruise then all guests have to be double vaccinated if you are parking with CPS you will proceed to Covid test centre via dock gate 20 if you are arriving by foot, taxi then you go straight to departure terminal where the LFT test is done there.

Schulz2201 Posted August 28, 2021 Author #14 Share Posted August 28, 2021 But surely that’s the point of cruise critic, a helpful tool in addition to advice from the cruise line. I have now established exactly the course of action and waiting on the dock for any number of days will hopefully not be the outcome for anyone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Princess phone number in the UK is valid till 10.00pm. I called at 9.30 one evening and was patched through almost immediately to a lady in Seattle. She answered my query. Thanks to reading on CC about long waits on the phone it's worth knowing that you're not restricted to UK office hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess doesn't always have the answers either btw. Could not tell me why my Standard Insurance is suddenly showing up as Platinum both on my Travel Summary and the Insurance itself.

Stokie33 Posted September 4, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 4, 2021 We sailed on sky on the 30th and someone mentioned this to us as we left the premier Inn , so had 2 really anxious hours thinking we wouldn't be allowed to board but checked the email we'd received a few days before boarding and it still mentioned testing at the port which after a stressful few hours is what happened so the best thing to do is check the departure emails you get sent a week before you leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
