Rare Gourmet Gal Posted July 21, 2022 #26 Share Posted July 21, 2022 And now Virgin will be dropping pre-cruise testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markham Posted July 21, 2022 #27 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Ok, everyone has an opinion. Anyway, about precruise testing in my world, Silversea has today once again notified us about the requirements for our 4 Aug., 2022 cruise from Civitavecchia. There is no doubt in my mind that a verified antigen test is required. The email says what is what. Nothing to do with CDC or anyone else. We will be duly prepared for embarkation. Happy and healthy sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy and healthy sailing! Though we will use the antigen tests we bring the day before boarding. If negative will do the supervised test on the day of boarding. but if positive why spend an extra 50 euros more each.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you expect Silversea to compensate you for a denied cruise due to a positive pre-embarkation Covid test, I bet they will want an official, verified test rather than a “I told you so” test.

Rare Gourmet Gal Posted July 22, 2022 #30 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) The CDC has just issued new guidelines for the cruise industry. They are strongly recommending pre-testing within one day of boarding. Of course they cannot dictate requirements or recommendations outside of US but other countries may take their lead. https://www.travelpulse.com/news/cruise/cdc-releases-new-cruise-ship-covid-safety-recommendations.html?ubhide=true&utm_source=omeda_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=eltr_Daily&oly_enc_id=1349H5843412D7V Edited July 22, 2022 by Gourmet Gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted July 29, 2022 #31 Share Posted July 29, 2022 https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/tourism/royal-caribbean-group-to-drop-pre-cruise-testing Royal Caribbean Group will drop pre-embarkation Covid-19 testing for vaccinated passengers on cruises of five days or less from August 8. The company – which operates Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Silversea Cruises – made the announcement during its second quarterly results call on Thursday (July 28). Speaking on the call, Jason Liberty, president and chief executive, said the firm’s brands would still test unvaccinated passengers and added that he expected to drop testing for vaccinated guests on longer cruises in the near future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WesW Posted July 29, 2022 #32 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Also, if you did not know, if you are a US Citizen you can get eight Covid tests for free. Pls see site below: https://www.covid.gov/tests Unfortunately, these are not accepted (not proctored during your test) for travel, butmay be useful during future cruises if you are concerned about Covid. For example,I used a Covid Test on the Silver Dawn in April when I had cold symptoms to make sure I did not have Covid.
