Tablelamp Posted October 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Having embarked the ship, does anybody know what will happen if you test positive a few days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggertravel Posted October 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2021 My guess is that you will be quarantined on the ship , and then removed from the ship at the next port of call ? We are on the transatlantic that goes tomorrow ,and My wife and I have had a million and one thoughts on how the normal will look, I always thought holidays were for relaxing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're relaxed as newts just thinking about it. Why worry about stuff that might happen but probably won't ?

That way you won't need to be tested if others on board become positive If your cruise has ports of call consider not disembarking at any that require covid tests Limit your need to take any tests And thus avoid any need for quarantine etc Edited October 21, 2021 by Interestedcruisefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyjl Posted October 21, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Are the covid tests free onboard? Just wonder if somebody felt they might have what is the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also order some free NHS tests and take on board with you to self test if you are concerned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle25 Posted October 26, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Just got back from Harmony of the Seas and RCL tested us all on board 3 times - all for free. P&O are having a laugh at charging £18 for an LFT - as mentioned before take some of the NHS one with you. Unfortunately, for the islands that require a 'proper' LFT, you will have to pay P&O to do it to get the correct certificates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think thats where you will have disembarked ? I wonder if it's RC policy to do this or in this case Spanish authorities? The other RC cruise where it happened was Cyprus. Where 11 passengers tested positive and are now in quarantine Are RC warning passengers that you need to test to go home as well as test to get on the boat?

Spain require it - at least 2 people were positive. Also a family got thrown off the cruise at Rome after no staying in excursion bubble 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazrat Posted October 26, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 26, 2021 We got tested yesterday on board really easy and well planned out, obviously you got some who missed there tests and was called to tell them they must attend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggy178 Posted October 28, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 28, 2021 On board Britannia now. LFT test before boarding and a PCR test a couple of days later which I presume were sent to a lab on arrival in Madeira so anyone positive could be taken off before crossing the Atlantic. Both free. Antigua has just lifted arrival restrictions so there and St Lucia are available for independent excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
