I am hoping it is the latter as we are flying in to FCO the night before the cruise It says "within 1 day", so I'm interpreting that as anytime between 24 hours and embarkation. I think it would be almost impossible that every passenger is able to do it exactly 24 hours before the cruise, so hopefully I'm reading it correctly 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think they would release that data to the public. Maybe to the CDC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapelgirl62 Posted April 12, 2022 #680 Share Posted April 12, 2022 We sail out of New York in Summit after flying in from London. There are mobile test sites - CTS Mobile - around the city that do antigen tests & email tou the results. Are these acceptable by Celebrity do you think?

Deano68 Posted April 15, 2022 #681 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Our cruise departs on a Monday, and as we are fully vaccinated we are required to have a covid test performed on the Saturday, Sunday or Monday (day of sailing). We will be flying to Florida from Australia and having our PCR test to depart Australia and enter the US on the Saturday. I assume this same test will be able to be used for the cruise (it meets all the documentation requirements)? Is there anyone who has travelled from outside the US or Canada to pick up a cruise in the US where they have used their test to enter the US for their cruise? When we have our test in Australia it will be dated the Saturday, but technically that is still the Friday in the US. We won’t have time at the pier to get retested so want to ensure this will be ok or will be need another test in Florida the day before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of antigen test requirements, celebrity said must be supervised, but that’s not Europe requirement? Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukev Posted April 15, 2022 #683 Share Posted April 15, 2022 We are sailing out of Ravenna Italy on Celebrity mid May. Our biggest stress right now is getting a covid test before boarding. Does anyone know of testing locations in Ravenna. Also, which proctored tests will be accepted or not accepted and which proctor companies? ie: Acculab? Azova? Switch health? We're having a very difficult time getting clear answers from Celebrity or our travel agent. Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MarkusToe Posted April 16, 2022 #684 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Does anyone know testyfly? Online based covid test. Are they acceptable for X, its all app based, no paperwork? Is that an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now you can also test at the pier. You also are likely to have the rules change before May 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminSea53 Posted April 17, 2022 #691 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Are the proctors for the Celebrity self administered tests available 24 / 7? Is there any reason I can’t use it when I am in Europe this summer? I sure hope the cruise lines and the countries eliminate all these testing requirements SOON. They are such a headache.

The only reason I can think of that it wouldn't work in Europe is that you might be somewhere where there's no Internet access available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminSea53 Posted April 17, 2022 #693 Share Posted April 17, 2022 For those cruising out of Europe this summer, is the COVID testing 1 or 2 days prior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminSea53 Posted April 17, 2022 #694 Share Posted April 17, 2022 What happens if you are refused boarding due to a positive Covid test? Is there any compensation? FCC ? Or are you just out the $$. The cruise in question is in October of this year so Cruise with Confidence no longer applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Robin Posted April 17, 2022 #695 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Wondering if anyone has any experience boarding with Certificate of Recovery and positive PCR test? We are cruising to Alaska in June and have just recovered from Covid (not at all pleasant I would recommend avoiding at all costs). From what I have read it is my understanding that since we are within the 11-90 days period, all we would require to board is: Certificate of Recovery from our Healthcare provider Documentation of a Positive PCR test Record of Full Vaccination From what I understand we will not be required to provide a pre-boarding Covid test....has anyone boarded with this???

AussieGirlKaz Posted April 17, 2022 #696 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I wanted to share my experience today in trying to use the celebrity approved Novica tests today I received 3 tests and tried to use these for my cruise tommorow. However all 3 scanned in the app as already used or expired. With the customer service being unable to assist with what occurred I then had to run around pretty much all of NYC to find a testing place that could do my tests. Which thankfully I did Moral of the story have a back up for the tele health/supervised antigen test 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv4cruises Posted April 18, 2022 #700 Share Posted April 18, 2022 We have Abbott Binax Now proctored tests with expiration date of Nov 8, 2021. I checked with the Optum Stire and e/med and have letters from them stating that the expiration date has been extended 6 months -so new expiration is May 8, 2022. I also had them check the lot number. I hope this is correct. I plan to use them this week. I do have a newer test ad well. Check with e/med.
