Govt freebie tests and Celebrity med cruising

[koolforkatz]

Does anyone have any experience yet testing with the government freebie tests (Rapid Response in B.C.) for boarding a Celebrity ship in the med? We used them without any issue for a mini cruise out of Vancouver on HAL last month. I have no reason to think they won't be accepted because Celebrity's Canadian website just states "negative antigen test" so I assume they're good. But would be nice to hear firsthand experience. Thanks!

I don’t know if this helps but we brought free rapid tests from home and used Azova ($20 U.S. each) for the tele monitoring part.  We sailed MSC out of Genoa, Italy on May 14 and had no problem at all.

We used Azova and the Ontario-issued Rapid Response tests to board NCL at the beginning of May.  Quick and easy, no problems with having them accepted.
