Embarkation testing

[cjd930]

I understand that if we're doing the proctored home test it can not be done earlier than the Friday before, (leaving Sunday) but what's the latest i can take the test? Anytime between Friday and arriving at the port?

 

[bigrednole]

Yes, that is pretty much the case. If you leave Sunday, testing can be Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

Thanks

Just be sure to leave adequate time for the results to be returned to you.

Testing is required 2 days before you board...

Testing is required WITHIN 2 days before boarding.

Just received email from ncl and as of 3/1 it says that if you are not tested when you arrive at the pier you can get a rapid test at your expense before boarding

Since NCL is no longer providing the Covid testing and you have to get it on your own, can you have your results on your phone or do they require a paper copy to collect? Thanks in advance.

I called the NCL rep and she said results on phone are accepted. Papers are great also! You can always print results from your email to take along, as Walgreen is doing both for us tomrw

I was just on the phone with NCL and the gentleman told me to get it done at CVS, have the CVS app and the results will show there and I can show that when we board.  We haven't received any information from NCL and we are sailing in 24 days so, I hope that's accurate as we're planning on stopping at a CVS in Las Vegas on the drive down to San Pedro.

Anyone know if where you take the home test matters? i know it ask for a state of residence, but does that need to match your location when testing?

Having results on your phone is fine (e.g., email). Having results that need you to pull up data in real time (e.g., some apps) requires that you actually have a good phone signal in the terminal. That is problematic in many cruise terminals which are large tin cans. Paper is always works. 

 

For us, I don't want anyone poking, touching, pinching my phone trying to get a better look. I always have paper.

Where are you sailing from? Have received many conflicting replies from NCL if, at your own expense you still have the option of testing at the Pier.  very interested .
