Adding up my 3 b2b2b cruises, the total days will be 16 days, so am I required to take a COVID test before embarking on the 1st cruise (7 days)? My 3 cruises were booked separately, and have 3 booking numbers. The 1st cruise is 7 days, departs in San Pedro at the end of this October, and 2nd cruise is 5 days, and the 3rd cruise is 4 days. They are saying no test at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take the PCR test in SFO more than three days before your cruise departs, that is too early. You need a Covid test for boarding the ship and, maybe, another ArriveCAN depending on the cruise itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the guidelines indicate no test required - your time is under 16-nights and you are not on a full-transit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidvan Posted August 20, 2022 #2085 Share Posted August 20, 2022 So boarding today in Civitavecchia - only looking for date of test not whether in person or not as the docs look the same. Who knows - cost me $80 extra to make sure just in case. 🤷♂️ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan M. Posted August 21, 2022 #2087 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Our experience was a joke. After dropping nearly $400 for the three of us to get pre-cruise tested, NO ONE asked about the results or even asked about getting them. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you flew from a U.S. airport in the lower 48 to Fairbanks, you are no longer required to show negative test results. Per current requirements, you will need to show them when you arrive at the cruise terminal to board your ship, and may need them to complete the ArriveCAN app for an itinerary that includes a Canadian port of call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testing to arrive in the USA was dropped in June, therefore, you were not questioned when boarding your flight, nor upon arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyandricky Posted August 21, 2022 #2092 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Fully vaccinated US citizens arriving in Vancouver on the Royal Princess. Will embark in Whittier on Sept 10th and disembark in Vancouver Sept 17th. Must we furnish an antigen covid test? It seems confusing.

Kevin, would you please post info on an in-person test site BCN, when you have info? Thanks! Just booked our tests for Sept 22, two days before boarding our 21-night cruise on Regal Princess that includes stops in Greece. With the recent changes eff Sept 6, the only reason we need to test is Greece requiring testing for any visit to Greece. Hopefully this will change in the next month and we can cancel our tests. These are RATs with printed and emailed results in 15 minutes. With the voucher provided after you make an appt, it's only €29.00 each, a little less expensive than the video-monitored BinaxNOW tests we've used on past cruises, but not as convenient. Unfortunately, as of now, Greece doesn't accept video-monitored tests.
