Thanks for the information!

Now if only the US would lift the requirement for testing to get back home!

Thanks for posting. Ok, it is your turn, USA!

Time for the US to do the same....COVID Theatre is DONE

[Harters]

Although, of course, the removal of all statutory public health protections simply makes living here less safe than it was, even with our previous "light touch" measures. A particular concern for those of us who are clinically vulnerable - many of us, me included, feel abandoned by our government.

A million dead (and counting) is not my idea of ‘theater’ but this is not the place for politics, so, let’s leave it at that.

So I hope you can help, I am trying to figure out how to get a COVID test before we fly home.  The day before we dock we are at sea, so no video.  And of course the airline changed the flight from when we booked and now is 12:15  . . .  wouldn't it be cool if the cruise ship's medical would set it up for the day at sea???  Do you know any resource?

Which cruiseline ? Lots of them allow you to get a Covid test done onboard (at a cost) for exactly this reason.

Princess in May

 

If my home country requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test result for re-entry following my cruise, will Princess administer and cover the cost of the test?

If a negative COVID-19 test is required for re-entry into your home country, subject to availability, Princess will cover the costs of any COVID-19 test administered on board within the timeframe required prior to travel. Please note that if your travel plans go beyond the validity of the onboard test, you are responsible for securing and paying for your own test.

Guests are encouraged to review their home country’s health authority and travel websites to understand the latest guidance on required testing and timing for return travel.

Not necessarily.  It is all dependent on the quality of the ship's internet signal from the satellite.  Given that you will be close to a "mainland" you may very well have good internet/WIFI.  Also...what is the itinerary (i.e. where are you going to be during that last sea day?)

It is the "subject to availability" phrase that prompted me to call Princess. The rep explained that they had to CYA, in case they ran out of tests.
