We just got off the Edge yesterday and were one of the first to be tested right next to where you embark the terminal. Test was administered at 7:45 am and results came in by email at 8:38 while waiting at FLL.  Easy and seamless and they do check your results at check in counter along with proof of vaccination if traveling internationally.  

What did they charge for the tests?

Fun but important question.  I will be on the Edge in two weeks and want to know if Nutella is available in the buffet or at restaurants during breakfast. If not I will pack some along side my real maple syrup.  Vacation = Nutella 😊

Switch has antigen and lamp test kits.  Lamp is a molecular test accepted for re-entry. 
 

from Gov of Canada site 

Accepted types of molecular tests

• PCR - Polymerase chain reaction
• Nucleic acid test (NAT) or Nucleic acid amplification test (NAATs)
• Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP)

We are planning to take our pre-return (to Canada) COVID test using the Switch RT-Lamp kit late on Day 5 of our 7 day cruise.

Two questions:

1. During the test we need to be a on video call with a test administrator.  Am I correct to assume Xcelerate Stream is a sufficient connection?

2. Can you pay for only one day of Xcelerate Stream or do I need to pay for day 5-7?

Thanks @bookbabe.  I was just reading about the Switch Lamp test via Air Canada.  That is a much better option.  

Roatan might be substituted for Grand Cayman for my mid Feb cruise on the second last cruising day. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a place tourists can get a PCR test in Roatan.  I am considering getting a late day test to use from my flight/re-entry to Canada.  That way I can avoid the departure terminal testing and relax on the last sea day. 

While it is unlikely my mid Feb cruise will end on in Grand Caymen on the second last cruising day I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a place tourist can get a PCR test.  I am considering getting a late day test to use from my flight/re-entry to Canada.  That way I can avoid the departure terminal testing and relax on the last sea day. 

Thanks @RBKL

Great to know rebooking is simple. 

We have a booking for a cruise departing Feb 13. We are considering canceling and using the FCC for a Mediterranean cruise in May 2022. If we do this, do we have to cancel, then wait for the FCC before we can book the new cruise (read that can take weeks) or is there an option to simple change a sailing (and pay the difference). 
 

Has anyone gone through the cancellation and rebooking process?

In some pictures the inflatable park at Playa Mia Beach looks to be far from the shoreline.  We are planning to go with a 12 and 15 year old who are not strong swimmers. Can anyone tell me if the inflatables are far from the shore line and require a lot of swimming to get there?

Thanks
