My husband and I were recently on an Alaskan cruise on the Spirit and we used the document of recovery. We tested positive 13 days before the cruise, got the positive PCR test from Walgreens, and the Dr note.
We had everything printed out and ready to go at check in. They immediately asked for the Dr. note, (even though Carnival’s website it did not say anything about a note from the Dr). Then they had to call over two other people to review everything. It was a very long and stressful process, but we were finally given the green light. I would highly recommend the Dr. note, it’s better to have it and not need it.
As for the timing of the positive test, if you test positive more than 10 days before, you can do the document of recovery. If you test positive with less than 10 days and somehow get a negative test 2 days prior, I guess it would be up to you to decide what to do. Personally, I wouldn’t cruise. There is still the health survey to fill out. We filled out ours honestly.
Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!
