CeleBrat Posted July 17, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) My DH caught COVID on day 3 of our last cruise. As an FYI, Covid tests are free from the onboard medical center. Although I had brought a COVID test with me, they gave tests to the others in our cabin to try and figure out how to place our family. They also provided free-of-charge cough meds, cold/sinus meds, and Tylenol, in addition to free onboard movies, wi-fi, and room service.

Really, what is a test going to do? You’ll either know you have Covid or something else but either way, you’re sick. I just got back from a big family cruise and most everyone got Covid. I didn’t this time. Everyone that was sick, still flew home, they’re certainly not going to quarantine until they feel better. Covid is not going anywhere, it’s a bummer that it’s an airborne virus but life isn’t going to stop anymore because of it. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask, because when my son got it in Feb while we were on a cruise, when I called medical, they told me twice that it would be $125. Almost like they were discouraging me from having him tested. I did anyway (he was positive) and the rest of the things you mentioned were free at that point, but we were billed the $125 for the test. We were on Paradise.

Last July I felt sick so they tested me, DW, and our 2 boys...all free of charge. I tested postive so they quarantined me on deck 1 for the last 2 days of the cruise.
