jff50 Posted September 3, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I am arriving at Heathrow on Sept 27th before a Princess Cruise on Sept 30th. I am on Delta Airlines, which is located in Terminal 2. I am fully vaccinated in the USA (Moderna), so I only have to do the day 2 test. I am looking at scheduling the test in the Heathrow Terminal 2 Arrivals area. If my flight is due in at 7:05 AM, what would you suggest as a good time to schedule the test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though you are vaccinated, you still have to take a test within three days prior to leaving the USA . https://www.gov.uk/guidance/red-amber-and-green-list-rules-for-entering-england Edited September 4, 2021 by wowzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jff50 Posted September 4, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I know that I have have to take the test before I leave the US. But I also have to take the Day 2 test in England. That is the one that I was hoping to take at Heathrow. Any thoughts on when to schedule it, given a flight that is due in at 7:05. The testing is in the arrivals area--I assume its before passport control/customs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted November 24, 2021 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Question: if day 2 test is positive, then a PCR test is required. Who do you contact in the UK to notify them you have to isolate. They will not want anyone testing positive to show up at Princess cruise terminal who has had a positive test 2-4 days prior to embarkation.

I was hoping to take the required test the day I depart home flying in only a day before sailing. With the current requirements flying in the day before isn’t possible. I don’t sail till mid August so fingers crossed 🤞 this will no longer be required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to self isolate after arrival test I will try & get day 2 test at LHR right after I arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalKJ Posted December 24, 2021 #10 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Following! I am taking a Carnival cruise mid August, 2022 and flying to LHR from LAX. I know the protocols are changing frequently, so I'm curious about all the mandatory tests prior to leaving the US, immediately after arriving at LHR and then once again before flying back to the States...there are a LOT of details to stay informed on....would love to hear others' experience... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog Posted December 24, 2021 #11 Share Posted December 24, 2021 So far, I understand that we have to fill in a locator form for UK arrival , book a Day 2 test, have a pre departure Covid test before flight to uK air Canada has a hub that outlines what/ when to do these things. It keeps updated as requirements change Princess has been testing at pier for embarkation and at end of cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
