You would have to lie and say you are symptom free to get tested. I'm not sure if there are labs where symptomatic people can go to get tested for a fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about that....and not right to show up when you know you have covid. So basically we're stuck in Ontario as PCR tests can't be done now for most if you suspect you have covid. 😞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JessyCruises Posted January 25, 2022 Author #504 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) On something I filled out I had said I was on a cruise, i just don't remember what it was. I was not trying to avoid a quarantine by not putting the ports (we were planning on self quarantining anyway so it really would not make a difference) I just did not think I had to if I never actually stepped foot in those places. I will from now on though! In NB we can apparently still get PCR tests if it is for travel reasons. I had been planning on trying to set one up when we got home, but now because I was flagged for a test yesterday at the airport I don't need to. Fun fact. I just took another antigen test and it is positive... 😷 Edited January 25, 2022 by JessyCruises 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuCruise Posted January 25, 2022 #507 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Oh no! But thank goodness you are home now and can at least quarantine in your own space. Hope you are feeling well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djsmrs Posted January 25, 2022 #508 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Wow - although I have not enjoyed reading about your experience (a poopy way to end a vacay), I am eternally grateful for you sharing this. What a journey you've been on - and I cannot believe how RED that line is on your antigen (my son's was SO faint my old eyes couldn't see it without the phone flashlight, near a window, on a certain angle... he could see it right away 🤓). If your PCR comes back negative I will be floored (sure makes travel easier for 180 days if it comes in positive!). I really hope you have very minor symptoms and a very easy and quick recovery. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JessyCruises Posted January 25, 2022 Author #510 Share Posted January 25, 2022 And as I was typing that post an email came through with my PCR results. Guess what folks, I won the Covid lottery. I know I should not make light of it, but at this point I cannot do anything but laugh. I do have some cold symptoms but nothing major. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you have minor symptoms! On a happy note, you are now a warrior princes (vaxxes + antibodies).

D4 Posted January 25, 2022 #514 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Wow! The timing worked out well for you. I’m so glad you didn’t test positive on your pre-flight test! Just curious … why did you take an antigen test today? Did you feel any symptoms? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JessyCruises Posted January 25, 2022 Author #517 Share Posted January 25, 2022 So after looking at the test results I got (posted above) I am not sure if it is detailed enough for me to use in the future. I went to the Province of NB and signed up for a travel PCR test just so I would have complete documentation. They already called me back to book a time and I explained I tested positive and need an official PCR test result for a trip in March. They have me coming in for a test on Friday which would be 5 days since I tested positive. She told me that I would be testing positive for months. When I told her hubby tested positive on 1/13 and negative on 1/21 she said that was very rare. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#55worktoplay Posted January 25, 2022 #518 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I can’t believe it! So glad you are at home instead of still down in Florida on your dime for 10 days. I hope you stay relatively healthy during your next quarantine. I so want to go cruising the end of March but just can’t chance the 11 day quarantine for work reasons. I figure I had it already but no chance of getting a rapid antigen test here let alone a PCR test at the time. It would be a good thing if I did have it to be holding a positive test result in my hand right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted January 25, 2022 #519 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just to clarify whether you get off a ship or not at any of the ports you are still 'deemed' to have been in that country as the ship was docked there - so yes you would have to enter all the countries you 'visited' on your customs form, even if you didn't actually touch land!

FYI, we tested positive on the antigen at Christmas and we went to get private PCRs last week to see if we could snag positive tests just-in-case for our upcoming cruises and we were all negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JessyCruises Posted January 26, 2022 Author #523 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hopefully I still test positive on Friday. If not I will reach out to the company that did the test at the airport and see if they can give me a more official looking report. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrannyGear Posted January 26, 2022 #525 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thanks from Bedford NS for posting this thread. We miss travel sooooo much and can't wait to get going again. It amazes me to see how stupid our travel regulations have evolved when travelers prefer to have been infected with Covid so that they can travel freely. Hopefully you will test positive on Friday and get your 'out of jail' card! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
