FamilyCruiserUK Posted July 6, 2021 #951 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Now maybe i read it wrong, its been a long day....but does it state that vaccinated guests have to take a PRC test and thats it. Unvaccinated guests including over 2s have to take a rapid test. ( Lat flow test) at the terminal and no PCR test..... Why do vaccinated guests have to take a more accurate test? Did i read this wrong as it dosnt make any sense at all. And i have had a lots of both tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did i read this wrong as it dosnt make any sense at all. And i have had a lots of both tests. You read correctly... "Vaccinated Guests must bring the negative result of an rt-PCR test taken within 72 hours of sailing." And unvaccinated children up to 18 take the lateral flow test when boarding. And no it doesn't seem to make much sense other than to create the uncertainty and angst seen in many of the other posts. Really hoping they drop the PCR test requirement (and the masks) after the Gov' 19th July freedom day before our cruise in on the 25th... However until then, we are literally holding our breath to in an attempt to avoid catching anything pre test.

On a serious note though, serious illness isnt the issue any more. Being quarantined is though because even double jabbed you still get symptomatic infection its looking like. A load of double jabbed staff at a local bar are infected and the bars shut down lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, vaccine prevents illness, fabulous, love it, isn’t that the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Eurofins don't improve I will use a clinic in our nearest city (from Northern Ireland) - they guarantee results in 24 hrs 7 days a week and are on the government approved list. Don't even know where the nearest Eurofins site is - we don't cruise until August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
