Situation and opportunities change all the time - check options immediately before your trip to Denmark - current information available at covidresults.dk
The rapid antigen test sites in Denmark are closed from 6 March, 2022 - Falck Test in CPH is closed - however, it is still possible to have PCR tests done for free in CPH.

Today you must register on covidresults.dk - As a non-Danish citizen, you have to register on Covidresults.dk before meeting up at the test center. You can show without an appointment.

You will normally be able to see your test result 12-24 hours after your test.

As Travel restrictions as a result of COVID-19 no longer apply to entry to Denmark, many test sites are closed.

Thank you for the reply.  I emailed CPH a few days ago inquiring if Falck was still testing.  CPH emailed back stating the company was still doing antigen testing at the airport......

We're in the same boat, so to speak, we fly in July.  Apparently there are test sites in Copenhagen.  I've been checking the main Copenhagen thread here on CC under Ports of Call, Northern Europe & Baltic Sea. The thread is called Wonderful Copenhagen 2020.  

 

Somewhere, there is a Regent link that will list available test sites at any destination.  But I can't find it right now.

I figured out we can test during our 3 hour layover in LAX.  I've set it up for $80pp.  I did the antigen test so hopefully will get results before boarding to Denmark.  This at least gives me a little bit of piece of mind in case either of us is positive.  I will be able to cancel for credit and also we wont get stuck having to quarantine overseas.  I see we can test at Flack lab at the Copenhagen airport (antigen I believe is around $60pp).  I do not see were i can schedule a test so I plan on calling them to see how much time we should add to our arrival time at the airport prior to our flight back to the U.S.

But Royal Caribbean (as of now, could change of course) is still requiring a test no more than 2 days before embarkation: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/will-i-have-to-take-a-test-before-i-cruise#copenhagen

 

We're worried but don't sail until Aug so who knows what the rules may be then.

We sail in 24 days and leave the U.S. 3 days prior to boarding.  Therefore, we will need to test in Copenhagen as an added expense and extra stress.  I decided to arrive an extra day early to give a buffer in case there were flight delays, etc and to enjoy the city but now I have to figure out Covid testing.  I see that there is testing at the airport, has anyone done this that can report how it went?  We fly out at noon on Monday May 2nd, should we get tested that morning at the airport or find a place in the city center that is open on a Sunday?  Any help is appreciated (unless the heavens open up and RCCL/USA decide to not require it).

Hello,

Our group of 8 is currently signed up for the 8:15 traditional seating for dinner on the Crown R/T to Alaska. There are many shows, etc. that start at 9 that some of us would like to go to but will missed with our current dining time. I've done Anytime dining multiple times but only for a party of 2, which often requires quite a bit of waiting time. Does anyone have experience with Anytime dining and the approximate wait time for a large table vs a small table (I realize it depends on many variables....). I'm just looking for an idea so that I can "sell" Anytime dining to a few in my group. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Traveling on July 19th on the Crown to Alaska with 8 family members (four cabins) for my Mother's 75th birthday. My siblings and I are wanting to book (we realize there is no guarantee they will be chosen for either activity but hoping we get lucky) the chef's table and ultimate ships tour as a surprise for her and her boyfriend.

After doing some research on the boards, it looks like I need to call the dine line ASAP after boarding and put in a request for the chef's table. I'm hoping they will be chosen and get a surprise letter delivered to their cabin and then pay for both of them on my account. Has anyone done this for another cabin?

For the ship's tour, it looks like I need to high tail it to the customer service desk and put in a request for them. Am I right on this? Again, has anyone done this for other passengers? Lastly, as anyone traveled to Alaska this season and knows what day the tour was on?

Thanks for any and all replies!!

Carol, what a wonderful trip to experience with your granddaughter! I can only speak for GCT river cruises as my mother (69) and I (42) went on GCT in March of 11' down the Blue Danube. GCT is a company that caters to Americans and is run top notch. The boats are kept immaculate, food delicious and their staff knowledgable. On the downside, you will miss the opportunity to mingle with travelers from other countries (while on your boat) and your granddaughter will be the youngest on the cruise. The makeup of a GCT traveler (in my opinion) is: mature, American, and affluent/professional. Everyone was extremely nice and eager to learn about new cultures, etc. The included excursions where very good but a little slower paced than what my mother and I would have liked but we were aware of this and pre-planned side trips on our own after the included port excursion was over. Doing it this way made our tirp great. If we had not "broken off" from the pack a few times I think we would have felt like we missed some great sight seeing opportunities. We purchased our trip as a "last minute deal" from their official website (about 6 weeks from departure date) which really gave us a great value for our dollar. I'm sure you will have a trip of a lifetime with whichever tour company you choose.
