Any health tests needed before embarkation?

[jsf]

Couple sailing with us told me that we need Flu test before boarding, I said never heard of this. What's the truth?

It's not true. They made it up.

 

Only Columbia on my 10 day still requires testing. Then nothing on all my booked 9 cruises.

 

I did wish I'd done the covid booster but I was sick then my mom and just was so busy and didnt get it. I got sick on allure and still cant quite shake it. Took a test onboard said I was negative. Never believed them. Just meant I didnt get isolated, but for sure was still sick. Tested positive home test. 

 

Not required though. It's up to you.

The OP mentioned a Flu not a COVID test.

When someone says you need something like this, it means that they believe you should get it for there piece of mind.  You do not "need" any type of medical test in the USA to get on a ship.

Again, the OP is talking about a Flu test, not a COVID test - you don't need a Flu test, even for Columbia or anywhere else in the world.

You are correct.  Sorry, I need to read more carefully.
