Royal Caribbean Covid testing

[MrsK]

I was wondering if Royal Caribbean will still provide a PCR test for Canadians who are returning to Canada after their cruise?

 

I thought that I had seen it on their website before but can't seem to locate that information now.

 

Does anybody have any recent information to share about this?

Yes - Royal Caribbean will provide a no charge PCR test for those who require it for those who need a PCR test to return home. We are leaving tomorrow for a cruise and this was one of the reasons we decided to go. Did not want to have to worry about finding a PCR upon our return. Here is a cut and paste from the RC health.

 

Prior to Disembarking
For cruises that are 5 nights or longer, kids will take a complimentary antigen test onboard before the cruise ends. Vaccinated guests who require a COVID-19 test for re-entry into their country may receive one onboard as well. Guests will be notified onboard about how to register for this test.

 

We were told to register at guest services for our PCR test early. Understand that we will be tested on on Saturday as we arrive back on Sunday. Lots of time to meet the 72 hour window.

Can you update when you return to see how everything worked? I’m curious about the timing and making sure that it’s a PCR test. We just booked for February and are trying to sort out all of the logistics.
