Pickels Posted January 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Been trying to get a simple answer to a simple question; couldn't find an answer on Celebrity's website, so: Do you have to show a negative COVID test results when boarding a Celebrity cruise? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare prmssk Posted January 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Only for select itineraries. Here is a link to the covid section on Celebrity's website: https://www.celebritycruises.com/health-and-safety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexmiller Posted January 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The other thing that needs to be considered, is that currently, all of the Australian/NZ/South Pacific itineraries - all on the Eclipse - require monitored B2B testing - so if you are a consecutive cruiser, the crew swab your nose. Only a self home test is needed to board, but if you are B2B, you must endure a monitored test. But, if you call Celebrity, they will tell you that no back to back testing is occurring throughout the fleet - however, this is not true - it is itinerary dependent as per the restrictions the countries the ship is calling at impose. Covid testing is not over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even this is itinerary dependent - meaning, for instance on the Eclipse currently, if you're not vaccinated, you can go on the cruise yes, but you are not allowed off in Fiji and I think from the reports, any of the South Pacific islands! So it's all still a bit of a tricky business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity recently changed protocol and some of that has changed but celebrity hasn't updated their page. Maybe that is what the * says. Currently all US cruises that is accurate and no testing is required. TransAtlantics and TP and Australia/New Zealand do have testing requirements and on the TransAtlantic protocol you again need to be Fully Vaxed and will need to be tested either monitored or self monitored. I'm being told that on a B2B with a TA we will need to be tested by the ship but personally have gotten a different answer from Celebrity.

George C Posted January 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2023 We did beyond two months ago , no vaccinations or test needed, we are doing a music charter in two months on summit the charter is requiring Covid shots and a test three days before sailing , we are fully vaccinated including boosters but a little annoying doing another test. On last years music charter then then required another test before boarding the ship . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted January 21, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted January 21, 2023 thanks everyone for your responses; I did check the web-site and spoke with Celebrity; no testing for our cruise next month. I just wanted to ensure we had all our ducks in line, 😃! A friend of ours had a problem and almost was not able to board his ship; didn't want that to happen to us. But, looks like everything is in order, thanks again! Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteymil Posted January 21, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2023 This is too important to topic for you to trust opinions of people on this board. Go right to the Celebrity website and will direct you to the particular ports you are going to and what the Requirements are. everyone here wants to be helpful, but if they give you the wrong advice you will have a big problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
