April Transatlantic - Covid Testing questions

[M&M cruiseaholics]

I apologize if this has been asked before.  I know we have to test within 48 hours prior to boarding in NYC. Will we have to test again while on the ship to fly home from London to Philadelphia?

 

Will the Emed Antigen test be accepted on NCL versus the Inspire test?

 

Thank you for your help.

NCL used to send you to the emed public site which sold test kits in lots of 5. The new link send you to Optum (same as Royal) and allows you to buy 2 kits.

Stay on top of the CDC's requirements for air passengers (including returning American citizens) flying into the U.S. from abroad.  By the time you return after an April TA, it's possible the testing requirement for vaxxed passengers may have been dropped.  (The airlines are urging this.)   In any event, here's the link to the rules:

Enjoy your cruise!

Hi, sorry to hijack the thread but how long does delivery take from point of ordering?
