I recently saw that for Mediterranean Cruises (maybe others as well) that you now need an RT-PCR test taken within 3 days of departure - any idea how MSC is counting days? My cruise leaves from Barcelona on a Sunday, I'm flying from Miami on a Friday night (arrives Saturday morning in Barcelona). I was thinking to get the test in the US on Thursday? Thoughts?

I believe it is known as a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, using saliva inlieu of a nasal swab.
Right, but what is the name of the actual test?

The HEALTH and SAFETY Video provided by the Chairman does in fact indicate that the test lab on the ships are saliva tests. He also states that the sample will be provided daily prior to any contact with anyone outside of your stateroom for the day and your results will be provided in a timely manner. I for one am very anxious and ready to provide the tests in that manner, especially if Viking is doing everything in their power to keep their customers and crew safe. Just my two cents worth. Thank you.
Does anyone know the name of the Saliva test they are going to run? I'm trying to do some research on it.

Where do you see 72 hours? I read 3 days for Mediterranean cruises for US guests - which is different than 72 hours. So if you sail on a Sunday - does that mean you can get tested Thursday, Friday or Saturday? https://www.msccruisesusa.com/health-and-safety-measures/mediterranean
