Yes, twice with MSC Virtuosa  boarding and once with RC. All were at Southampton. 
i have insurance through Lloyds bank account. They seem to recognise it on check in.

Perfect - mine is aviva so not an unheard of company so hopefully the letter and a copy of the policy will be enough. 
thank you

I wrote to my insurance company and they sent me back a letter stating that covid is covered. I took that along with my insurance document and This was accepted on my three cruises last year. I hope that’s helpful.

With MSC? That’s helpful thank you 

What are the insurance requirements about? Do I need a seperate policy?

my insurance covers us for illness and all the things they state but doesn’t specifically say covid (though it is covered) 

how do I evidence this at check in? 

I know MSC have a code as i have used it for the June cruise, the but does anyone know a generic or specific code for AB Parking in southampton for Royal Caribbean?

Thanks

Randox is fine for the current sailings out of the UK. Self test antigen with certificate is what they want.

 Great, thanks - half the price then!

It looks like the testing requirements have been relaxed a little for guests departing from Southampton on northern european cruises to allow for negative Antigen or RT-PCR test taken within 48 hours,  instead of just PCR tests as it was around January (last time I checked).

If I am wrong please feel free to correct me,  I would hate to turn up with the wrong test results!

What testing are people doing?  I have been sent the randox one as a link from the travel agent but though it says it does give a certificate it isn’t a video test.  I know qured do a video call for the test (and i do think royal Caribbean ask for that) are MSC a little more relaxed?
